I have a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. A deck of cards has four different suits, with an even number of cards in each. I pick a card at random. What is the probability of me picking any card which is in the spades suit, as a decimal?

The probability is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a probability question.

We want to know the probability of picking a card which is in the spades suit.

Now, what we know is that there are a total of 52 cards and we have 4 suites.

Each suite have equal number of cards. So definitely the number of cards in the spades suit will be 52/4 = 13 cards

Thus, the probability of picking any card in the spades suit = number of cards in the spades suit/ Total number of cards in the deck

Mathematically that would be 13/52 = 1/4 = 0.25

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

1,918
