Determine the probability of choosing two diamonds randomly in a deck of 52 cards.
Solution:
Since there is a total number of 52 cards, and the number of diamonds is 13 cards, we simply need to divide 13 by 2, and then divide the quotient by 52 cards to determine ht probability.
= 13/2
=7.5
= 7.5/52
= 0.1442
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.1442)(100)
= 14.42%
Final answer:
= 14.42%
