Question 613117: Yves and some friends are playing a fair game in which 18 cards are dealt to 6 players. One of the cards is a queen. The player who receives the queen goes first. What is the probability that Yves will go first?
a) 1/18 b) 1/3 c) 1/6 d) 1/13 Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If Yves is not one of the 6 players, then the probability that he goes first is zero. If is is one of the 6 players than there is one outcome that is a success divided by the total number of outcomes.
