Card Probabilities 1

- A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards divided into 4 suits (spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts) with 13 values from ace to king in each suit. - The probability of drawing a specific suit (like spades) is 13/52. The probability of drawing a face card is 12/52 or simply 3/13. The probability of drawing a red ace is 2/52. - If drawing 3 cards from the deck one at a time without replacement, the probability of all 3 cards being red is (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50) = 21/221. The probability of none being spades is (39/52)*(38/51)*(37
