  2. There is 1 chance in 4 for the second card to be a spade. Answer: [?/TRUE/FALSE]
  3. The chance of getting a heart and then a spade is: % [Enter answer in percent rounded to the nearest whole percent, like 12 for 0.1178 (=11.78%); do not enter the % sign.]

Problem 2

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards: 4 aces, 12 face cards, and 36 numbered cards.

Enter answers below in percent rounded to the nearest whole percent, like 12 for 0.1178 (=11.78%); do not enter the % sign.

  1. What is the chance of getting a numbered card on the first draw? Answer: %
  2. What is the chance of getting a numbered card on the second draw? Answer: %
  3. What is the chance of getting a numbered card on the first draw and a numbered card on the second draw? Answer: %
  4. What is the chance of not getting a face card in the two draws? Answer: %
  5. What is the chance of getting a face card at least once in the two draws? Answer: %

Problem 3

Two draws are made at random from the box

. Enter answers below in percent rounded

to the nearest whole percent, like 12 for 0.1178 (=11.78%); do not enter the % sign.

Find the chance that 2 is drawn at least once—

  1. if the draws are made with replacement. Answer: %
  2. if the draws are made without replacement. Answer: %

Problem 4

Three cards are drawn from a well-shuffled deck and placed down on the table. Enter answers below in percent rounded to the nearest whole percent, like 12% for 0.1178 (=11.78%).

  1. Find the chance that all of the cards are even-numbered. Answer: %
  2. Find the chance that none of the cards are even-numbered. Answer: %
  3. Find the chance that the cards are not all even-numbered. Answer: %

Problem 5

Two tickets are drawn at random without replacement from the box

. Enter answers

below in percent rounded to the nearest whole percent, like 12 for 0.1178 (=11.78%); do not enter the % sign.

  1. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4. Answer: %
  2. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4, given the first is 2. Answer: %
  3. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4, given the first is 4. Answer: % Now find the same three chances, if the draws are made with replacement.
  4. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4. Answer: %
  5. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4, given the first is 2. Answer: %
  6. Find the chance that the second ticket is 4, given the first is 4. Answer: %

Problem 6

A deck of cards is shuffled and two cards are drawn.

Enter answers below in percent rounded to the nearest whole percent, like 12 for 0.1178 (=11.78%); do not enter the % sign.

  1. Find the chance that the second card is a club, given that first card is a club. Answer: %.
  2. Find the chance that the first card is a club and the second card is a club. Answer: %
