A magician is performing a card trick where he will pick a card you name from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of the magician selecting the card you name?

*(A). 1/52
B. 1/25
C. 1/1,000,000
D. 4/25

Respuesta :

Since the standard card deck has 52 cards, the correct answer is A. 1/52

Answer:

Option A. [tex]\frac{1}{52}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A magician is performing a card trick where he picks a card we name from a standard deck of cards.

We have to tell the probability of selecting the card we name.

As number of total events n(S) (sample space) = 52

and picking a card from a standard deck of cards is the favorable event represented by n(E), so probability to pick a card of our choice will be P(E) = [tex]\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore Option A is the answer.
