Question

What is the probability of drawing a heart from a deck of cards?

Answer 1

`25%`

Explanation:

Assuming a random drawing from a standard pack of 52 cards:
`1/4=25%` of the cards are hearts (i.e. `13` out of `52`)

Answer 2

`1/4`

Explanation:

One can approach this in two ways.

• There are `4` suits in a deck of cards.
  One of the suits is `"Hearts"`

`" "P("heart") = 1/4`

• There are `52` cards in a deck.
  `13` of them are hearts.

`" "P("heart") = 13/52 = 1/4`
