a. What is the probability the 7 of spades is drawn?
1 seven of spades out of 52 cards = 1/52
b. What is the probability that a 7 is drawn?
4 sevens out of 52 cards = 4/52 which reduces to 1/13.
c. What is the probability that a face card is drawn?
12 face cards out of 52 cards = 12/52 = 3/13.
d. What is the probability that a heart is drawn?
13 hearts out of 52 cards = 13/52 = 1/4.
e. What are the odds that a heart is drawn?
13 hearts to 39 non-hearts = 13:39 which reduces to 1:3.
f. What are the odds that a king or queen is drawn?
8 kings and queens to 44 non-kings and non queens = 8:44 which reduces to 2:11
