Question

One card is selected at random from a deck of cards. Determine the probability that the card selected is a card greater than 3 and less than 8.

Answer 1

4/13

Explanation:

Count all cards that are 4, 5, 6, and 7 (each of 4 different suits) so the number of cards that is greater than 3 and less than 8 = 4(4) = 16.

There are 52 cards in a standard deck of cards.

P(greater than 3 and less than 8)

= 16/52

= 4/13
