A) There are 4 queens in 52 cards. \n" ); document.write( "P(Queen) = 4/52 = 1/13 \n" ); document.write( "B) There are 13 hearts in 52 cards. \n" ); document.write( "P(Heart) = 13/52 = 1/4 \n" ); document.write( "C) From above, P(Queen)=4/52 and P(Heart)=13/52, the queen of hearts is in both categories so we have to subtract 1/52 so we don't double count. \n" ); document.write( "P(Queen or Heart) = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52=16/52=4/13 \n" ); document.write( "D) There is only 1 queen of hearts in 52 cards. \n" ); document.write( "P(Queen of Hearts) = 1/52 \n" ); document.write( " |
