Question

In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, Ian draws one without looking.

Which card is most likely to be drawn?

Worked Solution

Check each option:

PP(King) = 452\dfrac{4}{52} = 113\dfrac{1}{13}

PP(Number 4 or 5) = 852\dfrac{8}{52} = 213\dfrac{2}{13}

PP(Black suit) = 2652\dfrac{26}{52} = 12\dfrac{1}{2}

PP(Diamond) = 1352\dfrac{13}{52} = 14\dfrac{1}{4}
