Find the probability that an individual selects a queen card randomly from a standard deck of cards. Write your answer as an exact fraction which is reduced as much as possible.

Respuesta :

There are 4 queen cards in a deck, the queen of hearts, queen of clubs, queen of diamonds and queen of spades. Also, there are a total of 52 cards in a dec; therefore, the probability of getting a queen card is

[tex]\frac{4}{52}[/tex]

which simplifies to (divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4)

[tex]\frac{4}{52}\rightarrow\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of getting queen cards is 1/13.
