Cards Prob Q

A standard deck of 52 cards consists of 4 suits of 13 cards each, including numbers 2 through 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. The probabilities of drawing various cards or combinations of cards from the deck were calculated based on the number of possible outcomes. For example, the probability of drawing two spades with replacement is 1/16, while the probability of drawing three spades in a row without replacement is 11/850.

A deck of cards consists of 4 suits, 13 cards each for a total of 52 cards. The four suits are: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs.
Each suit contains an A (Ace), numbers from 2 to 10, and three face cards: J, The Jack; Q, the Queen and K, the King.

QUESTIONS: Let's assume a well shuffled deck of card is available for every trial.
Find the probability of (in all these events you are choosing just one card):

1. Choosing a red or a black card.


2. Choosing a spade or a heart.
3. Choosing a King or an Ace.
4. Choosing a King or a spade.
5. Choosing a red card or a Queen.
6. Choosing an even numbered card or a black card.
7. Choosing and spade or an Ace.
Find the probability of (for the following events you are choosing more than one card; and, every time, before you choose a
new card, put the chosen one back, and shuffle again):
8. Choosing two spades.
9. Choosing a spade and a heart.
10. Choosing three Aces in a row.
11. Choosing a heart, a King, a Jack in that order.

Find the probability of (for the following events you are choosing more than one card without replacement):

12. Choosing three spades in a row.


13. Choosing two hearts.
14. Choosing a King, a Queen and a Jack in that order.
15. Choosing five cards and they all are diamonds.

Find the probability of (in all these events you are choosing just one card, but a given condition is known):

16. Choosing a King given that is a black card.


17. Choosing a diamond given that is a red card.
18. Choosing a Queen given that is a face card.
19. Choosing and Ace given that is a face card.
20. Choosing a diamond given that is an Ace card.
21. Choosing a Queen given that the card is a spade.

Permutations and combinations:


22. In how many way you can choose 5 cards out of the 52 cards?
23. In how many ways you can you can arrange the three face cards of a given suit?

Find the probability of (without replacement):


24. Choosing 5 cards at random and they all are diamonds.
25. Choosing 3 cards such that one is a King and the two others are Aces.
26. Choosing three cards and they all are red cards.
27. Choosing 5 cards and getting 3 hearts and 2 clubs.
28. Choosing 5 cards and they are all Hearts.
Answers:

For mutually exclusive events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)


For not mutually exclusive events, both events may occur at the same time (overlap or intersection):
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
For each question declare what is event A, what is considered event B:

1. A: choosing red card; B, choosing black card:


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) =26/52 + 26/52 = 1.

2. A: choosing a spade; B: choosing a heart:


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = 13/52 + 13/52 =26/52 = ½

3. A: choosing a king; B: choosing an Ace:


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) =4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52 = 2/13

4. A: choosing a king; B: choosing a spade.


Since there is a king of spades, overlap exists. Events are not mutually exclusive:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 4/52 + 13/52 – 1/52 = 16/52 =4/13

5. A: choosing a red card; B: choosing a queen.


Since two of the red card cards include the queen of hearts (red), and the queen of diamonds (also red).
Overlap exists.
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) =26/52 + 4/52 – 2/52 = 28/52 = 7/13

6. A: choosing an even numbered card; choosing a black card:


Each suit includes five even numbered cards (2, 4, 6, 8, 10); and two of the suits are black cards.
Overlap exists:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 20/52 + 26/52 – 10/52 = 36/52 = 9/13

7. A: choosing and spade; B: choosing an Ace.


There is an Ace of space; therefore, overlap or intersection exists:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 13/52 + 4/52 – 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13

8. A: choosing one spade; B, choosing another spade (with replacement):


P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 13/52*13/52 = 1/16

9. A: choosing one spade; B, choosing a heart (with replacement):


P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 13/52*13/52 = 1/16

10. A: choosing an Ace, B: choosing another Ace; C: choosing another Ace (with replacement):
P(A and B and C)= P(A) * P(B) *P(C) = 4/52*4/52*4/52 = (1/13)3 = 1/2197

11. A: choosing a heart, B: choosing a king; C: choosing a jack (with replacement):


P(A and B and C)= P(A) * P(B) *P(C) = 13/52*4/52*4/52 = 1/676
12. A: choosing a spade; B, choosing another spade; C: choosing a third spade without replacement:
P(A and B and C)= P(A) * P(B|A) * P(C|A and B) = 13/52 * 12/51 *11/50 = 11/850

13. A: choosing a heart; B, choosing another heart without replacement:


P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A) = 13/52*12/51 = 1/17

14. A: choosing a king; B, choosing a queen; C: choosing a jack, without replacement:


P(A and B and C)= P(A) * P(B|A) * P(C|A and B) = 4/52 * 4/51 *4/50 = 8/16575

15. A: choosing a diamond; B, choosing a diamond; C: choosing a diamond; D, choosing a diamond; E, choosing
a diamond; without replacement: P(A and B and C and D and E) = P(A) * P(B|A) * P(C|A and B) * P(D|A and
B and C) * P(E|A and B and C and D and E)= 13/52*12/51*11/50*10/49*9/48 = 99/204085

16. P(King|Black card) = 2/26 =1/13 [Given that the card is black, 26 of them, 2 of them are King and Black]
2
𝑃(𝐾∩𝐵)
Formal approach: P(King|Black) =
𝑃(𝐵)
= 52
26 = 2/26 = 1/13
52

17. P(Diamond|red card) = 13/26 =1/2

18. P(Queen|face card) = 4/12 =1/3

19. P(Ace|face card) = 0/12 = 0 [There are no Aces among face cards].

20. P(diamond|Ace) = 1/4 [There is one diamond among Ace cards]

21. P(Queen|spade) = 1/13 [there is one queen among spades]
