• A. $3$
• B. $0$
• C. $1$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1$

The sum of the probabilities of all the distinct outcomes within this sample space is $1$.
Example: The probability of each outcome of this experiment is: $P$ (card) $=\frac{1}{52}$
The sum of the probabilities of the distinct outcomes within this sample space is $\frac{52}{52}=1$
