A certain man takes 2 cards
from a standard deck of 52 cards.
What will be the probability
of getting a pair of spades?
Solution
(This is a problem with
replacement)
n(E) = 13, n(S) = 52
P(E) = n(E)
n(S)
1st pick = 13/52
2nd pick = 13/52 as well.
P(2 spades) = 13
x 13
52 52
P(2 spades)
= 169 =
1
2704
16
Therefore Probability
of drawing 2 spade cards is 1/16
