Could I get help with these probabilities Is there a standar
Solution
Sure, you will get help on probability problems.
There are some standard formula on probability.
Suppose we have event E and total number of all possible distinct outcomes S.
i.e. n(E) and n (S)
then P(E) = Total number of favourable outcomes to event E / All possible distinct outcomes in sample space.
= n(E) / n(S)
Suppose we roll die is an experiment:
then Total number of all possible distinct outcomes S = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }
i.e. n(S) = 6
Consider event E= {2 , 4 , 6 } i.e. n (E) = 3
Therefore, P(E) = 3 / 6 = 1 /2
Lets solve for your question now.
3 solution: P{ We will draw spade cards from deck of 52 } = 13 /52
Since we need to draw only one card from standard deck of 52.
Therefore, n(S) = C(52 , 1 ) = 52 and Total spade cards in deck are = 13 so, n(E) = C(13 , 1 ) = 13
3a) Solution: The probability of drawing a specific number (or specific face card) is = 4/52
Total number of ace cards are = 4
draw one card from 4 means C(4 , 1 ) = 4
3b) solution : P[ we will draw ace of spade cards]
ace of spade card in deck of 52 is only 1
So select one from 1 spade card is C(1 , 1 ) = 1
Therefore, P[ we will draw ace of spade cards] = 1 /52
The probability of drawing a specific card is 1/52.
3c) Solution : P[a king or a jack}
Total number of king is 4 out of 52 cards.
Total number of jack is 4 out of 52 cards
Number of favourable outcomes i.e. ‘a king or a jack’ is 4 + 4 = 8 out of 52 cards.
Therefore, probability of getting ‘a king or a jack’
   Number of favorable outcomes
 P(E) =   Total number of possible outcome
 
 = 8/52
 = 2/13
3d) solution : From a standard deck of cards, one card is drawn. What is the probability that the card is jack and a
 king? P( Jack and king ) = (4/52)*(4/52) = 1/169 ...........................(It is for first draw)
from second draw we have only 51 cards.
there may be 4 jack and 4 king cards.
P( jack and king ) = (4/51)(4/51) = 16/2601
You can solve for 3e in same way.
number of ace of spade = 1 and number of king of heart = 1
for first draw P [ We will draw ace of spade and king of heart ] = (1/52)(1/52) = 1/2704
for second draw we have only 51 cards therefore,
P [ We will draw ace of spade and king of heart ] = (1/51)(1/51) = 1/2601 -----------------------( for second draw)
