Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem states:
"52 cards are drawn at random. Find the chance that 1 is a King and 1 is a Queen."
Solution:
-
Understand the problem:
- There is a standard deck of 52 cards.
- We want to find the probability that, when 2 cards are drawn, one is a King and the other is a Queen.
-
Count the relevant cards:
- Number of Kings in a deck = 4 (one for each suit).
- Number of Queens in a deck = 4 (one for each suit).
-
Calculate the probability:
- Total number of ways to draw 2 cards from 52:
- Number of ways to select 1 King out of 4 and 1 Queen out of 4:
- Total number of ways to draw 2 cards from 52:
-
Find the probability:
Thus, the probability that one of the drawn cards is a King and the other is a Queen is approximately 0.0121 or 1.21%.

- What is the probability of drawing two aces from a standard deck of cards?
- If three cards are drawn, what is the chance that one is a King, one is a Queen, and one is an Ace?
- What is the probability of drawing two consecutive cards that are both face cards (Jack, Queen, King)?
- What is the probability of drawing two cards of the same suit from a deck of 52 cards?
- How many ways can you draw three cards such that one is a King and the others are not?
Tip: Remember, when calculating probabilities, always divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Total number of ways to choose 2 cards: \(\binom{52}{2} = \frac{52 \times 51}{2} = 1326\)
Number of ways to select 1 King and 1 Queen: 4 Kings × 4 Queens = 16
Probability: \(\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{16}{1326} \approx 0.0121\)
