Question 1071556: A single card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. The card is either an
even number, an odd number or a face card. If we consider aces to be ones, write
the probability distribution for this random experiment.
(I'm not sure what a probability distribution is or how to make one)

So then look at the possible choices,
Even:{2,4,6,8,10}
Odd : {1,3,5,7,9}
Face:{J,Q,K}
There are 5%2A4=20 possible odds, 5%2A4=20 possible evens, and 3%2A4=12 possible face cards.
So the probability of an even card is the number of even cards divided by the number of total cards,
Even : P%28E%29=20%2F52=5%2F13
Odd : P%28O%29=20%2F52=5%2F13
Face : P%28F%29=12%2F52=3%2F13
