a) A 3 of Diamonds?
only 1 favourable outcome out of 52 possible outcomes = 1/52
b) A Diamond?
There are 13 diamond cards in a suit 13 favourable outcomes 13/52 =1/4
c) A number smaller than 6 (counting the ace as a 1)?
5 in each suit 4 suits
favoirable outcomes = 5*4 = 20
= 20/52 = 10/26
a) Probability of a 3 of Diamonds: 1/52 ≈ 0.0192
b) Probability of a Diamond: 1/4 = 0.25
c) Probability of a number smaller than 6: 20/52 ≈ 0.3846
