Suppose that a single card is selected from a standard​ 52-card deck. What is the probability that the card drawn is a clubclub​?

Now suppose that a single card is drawn from a standard​ 52-card deck, but it is told that the card is blackblack. What is the probability that the card drawn is a clubclub​?

Answer:

The probability that the card drawn is a club is 0.25.

The probability that card drawn is a club, when it is given that the card is black is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard​ deck of cards:

Total number of cards = 52

Total number of cards of each suit (club, spade,heart, diamond) = 13

The probability that the card drawn is a club is

[tex]P=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{^{13}C_1}{^{52}C_1}=\frac{13}{52}=0.25[/tex]

Therefore the probability that the card drawn is a club is 0.25.

Let A and B represents the following events:

A : Card is black

B : Card is a club

Total number of black cards = 26

[tex]P(A)=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5[/tex]

From the above parts

[tex]P(B)=0.25[/tex]

Total number of black club cards = 13

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25[/tex]

We need to find the probability that card drawn is a club, when it is given that the card is black.

[tex]P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{0.25}{0.5}=0.5[/tex]

Therefore the probability that card drawn is a club, when it is given that the card is black is 0.5.
