Question

A single card is drawn at random from a standard 52 card deck.

Work out the following probabilities in their simplest form:
P(8)
=

P(not 8)
=

Answer 1

Explanation:

P(8)

There are 4 eights in a standard deck (no jokers) So the probability is 4/52 = 1/13 = 0.0769

P( ~ 8)

48 cards in a standard deck are not 8

P( ~8) = 12/13 = 0.9231
