Find the probability of drawing
(i) Spades
ii) Diamonds
(iii) Clubs
(iv) Hearts.
Show that the sum of these probabilities is 1. [4 MARKS]
Solution: 1Mark each
Probability of drawing Spades = 23100 = 0.23
Probability of drawing Diamonds= 26100 = 0.26
Probability of drawing Spade = 21100 = 0.21
Probability of drawing Spade = 30100 = 0.30
Hence the sum of these probabilities = 0.23 + 0.26 + 0.21 + 0.30 = 1.
