Question 621702: Consider a deck of 52 cards with the following characteristics:
13 red cards, numbered 1 through 13
13 blue cards, numbered 1 through 13
13 green cards, numbered 1 through 13
13 black cards, numbered 1 through 13
1. Describe the steps necessary to calculate the theoretical probability of:
a. Drawing two red cards one after the other from the given deck if the cards are returned to the deck after each pick.
b. Drawing three cards with the same value one after the other from the given deck without replacing them in the deck after each pick.
2. Describe the steps necessary to calculate the experimental probabilities of:
a. Drawing two red cards one after the other from the given deck if the cards are returned to the deck after each pick.
b. Drawing three cards with the same value one after the other from the given deck without replacing them in the deck after each pick.
The theoretical probability is the number of ways that the event can occur that are considered a success divided by the total number of ways that it can occur. The combined probability of multiple independent events is the product of the individual probabilities.
The experimental probability is the result of trying the experiment and recording the results. The experimental probability will approach the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.
