…Simple probability is the likelihood of a specific event occurring, expressed as a fraction or decimal. It is based on the assumption that all outcomes are equally likely to happen.
Probability is calculated by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. For example, if you want to find the probability of drawing a heart from a deck of cards, the calculation would be 13 (number of hearts) divided by 52 (total number of cards) which equals 1/4 or 0.25.
A deck of cards is a set of 52 playing cards divided into four suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs) and ranks (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King). Each suit contains 13 cards.
A standard deck of cards and a deck of playing cards are both made up of 52 cards, but a standard deck is typically used for playing traditional card games while a deck of playing cards may have unique designs or be used for specific games.
A deck of cards is often used to demonstrate simple probability questions by representing different outcomes with different cards. It can also be used to simulate larger sampling sizes by shuffling and drawing multiple times.
