Question

1. what are the odds of drawing an ace from a standard 52 - card deck?

a. 1 to 12
b. 1 to 13
c. 4 to 48
d. 1 to 52

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of favorable and unfavorable outcomes

In a standard 52 - card deck, there are 4 Aces (favorable outcomes). The number of non - Aces is \(52 - 4=48\) (unfavorable outcomes).

Step2: Determine the odds

The odds of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of unfavorable outcomes. So the odds of drawing an Ace is \(4:48\).

Answer:

C. 4 to 48
