Question 633452: one card is ramdomly selected from a shuffled standard deck of 52 card and then a die is rolled. Find the probability of obtaining
an ace and a 4 Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
There are 4 aces out of 52 cards. In probability "out of" means "over",
so
P(ace) = 4 out of 52 = 4 over 52 = which reduces to .
There is 1 four out of 6 numbers on the die. In probability "out of" means "over", so
P(four) = 1 out of 6 = 1 over 6 =
We want to know
P(ace AND four). In probability "AND" means "multiply", so
P(ace AND four) = P(ace)×P(four) = × =
