Two cards are chosen at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of selecting a jack and a Spade from the deck?(a) \(\frac{4}{13}\)(b) \(\frac{1}{13}\)(c) \(\frac{4}{13}\)(d) \(\frac{1}{52}\)I have been asked this question in semester exam.My question is from Multiplication Theorem on Probability topic in section Discrete Probability of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

Correct choice is (d) \(\FRAC{1}{52}\)

The EXPLANATION: The REQUIRED probability is : P(Jack or spade)=P(Jack)* P(spade) = \(\frac{4}{52} * \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{52}\).
