Question

An experiment consists of drawing 1 card from a standard​ 52-card deck. Let E be the event that card drawn is a heart. Find​ P(E).

Answer 1

`P(E) = (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Probability refers to chance of occurrence of any event.

Total number of cards = 52

Number of hearts = 13

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

= Number of hearts / Total number of cards

=
`(13)/(52)`

=
`(1)/(4)`

Therefore,

`P(E) = (1)/(4)`
