In a game room, there are three decks of cards: Deck 1 contains 5 red cards and

document.write( "Let's suppose you play this games many times.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1/3 of those times you will select Deck 1, and 5/8ths of those times when you\r\n" );
document.write( "select Deck 1, you'll draw a red card.  So that's what's happens (1/3)(5/8) =\r\n" );
document.write( "5/24ths of ALL the many times you play.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1/3 of those times you will select Deck 2, and 3/4ths of those times when you\r\n" );
document.write( "select Deck 2, you'll draw a red card.  So that's what's happens (1/3)(3/4) =\r\n" );
document.write( "5/24ths of ALL the many times you play.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1/3 of those times you will select Deck 3, and 4/6ths or 2/3rds of those times\r\n" );
document.write( "when you select Deck 3, you'll draw a red card.  So that's what's happens \r\n" );
document.write( "(1/3)(2/3) = 2/9ths of ALL the many times you play.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So 5/24ths + 1/4th + 2/9ths = 49/72nds of ALL those times you'll draw a red card.\r\n" );
