The probability of getting a spade out of a full deck is 13/52 = 1/4.

Now, to get exactly one spade you have the following possibilities:

a. Spade first, then others: 13/52*39/51*38/50

b. Other, then Spade, then other: 39/52*13/51*38/50

c. Other, then other, then spade: 39/52*38/51*13/50.

Sum them up, and you get 3*13*39*38/(52*51*50) = 0.4385

To understand this best, please draw a tree.

A pack of cards is shuffled and one is drawn at random this happens a hundred times how many times would there be a diamond?

The probability of drawing a diamond in a standard deck of cards is 1 in 4. The probability of drawing a diamond if this is repeated 100 times is still 1 in 4, which translates to 25 in 100, but since this is a random process you would not expect diamonds exactly 25 times.


What is the probability of selecting a jack or king on a single draw from deck of cards?
