Suppose you select a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. In how many ways can the selected card be each of the following kinds?
1. a queen and a club
2. a king or a club
3.a queen that is not a spade
Suppose you select a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards... Stats question?
1) 1 (there is only 1 queen of clubs in the deck)
2) 16 (13 clubs and the 3 kings that are not a club)
3) 3 (4 queens - 1 for the spade)
Reply:Assuming a standard deck with all different cards.....
There is only one Queen of clubs out of 52 cards so the chance is 1/52
There are 4 Kings and 13 of each suit, so 13 + 4=17
17/52 is the answer
there are 3 queens that are not spades, so 3/52 is the answer
