Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this image, the question asks for the probability of selecting a king from a standard deck of cards.
A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards in total. There are 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades), and each suit has one king. Therefore, there are 4 kings in a deck.
The probability of selecting a king is calculated as the ratio of the number of kings to the total number of cards:
Thus, the correct answer is .
