A magician asks two volunteers to each draw a card from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability that the first card is a heart and the second card is a diamond

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.37%

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards have 52 cards.  There are 4 suits of 13 card each, those suits are Hearts, Clubs, Diamond and Spades.

The probability that the first card is a heart is:

[tex]P(Hearts) = \frac{13}{52}[/tex]

Now, the probabily that the second card is a diamond is:

[tex] P(Diamond | First card is Heart) = \frac{13}{51}[/tex]

The Probability that the first card is a heart and the second one a diamond is given by:

[tex]P(Hearts)[/tex]×[tex]P(Diamond | First card is Heart)[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{13}{52}\frac{13}{51}[/tex]

[tex]= 6.37[/tex]%

Answer:

6.37 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First card is 13/52 , the second card is 13/51.

So the probability is (13/52 × 13/51) = 6.37 %
