Consider the experiment of drawing a card at random from a shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a heart and a spade?

Solution

Dear Student

Thank you for using CHegg !!

Total number of cards in a deck = 52

Hence sample space = 52

Now no of hearts in a deck = 13

Also no of spades in a deck in a deck is 13

Hence total number of favurable outcomes is 26

Probaility = Favourable outcomes / Sample space

              = 26 / 52

              = 1/2
