In: Statistics and Probability
Cards: Suppose you draw two cards with replacement. Round your answers to 3 significant digits*.
(a) What is the probability of getting a queen then a queen
again?
P(queen on the first and queen on the
second) =
(b) What is the probability of getting a queen then a king?
P(queen on the first and king on the
second) =
(c) What is the probability of getting a queen then a spade?
P(queen on the first and spade on the
second) =

*Significant Digits: Here are some probabilities
expressed to 3 significant digits.
You start counting digits from left to right starting with the
first non-zero digit.

Background playing card information: In a standard
deck of playing cards there are 52 cards total.
There are 4 suits:
hearts ♥ diamonds ♦ spades ♠ clubs ♣
Each suit has 13 values:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 jack queen king ace
Two cards are drawn from the pack of 52 cards
There are 4 suits:
hearts ♥ diamonds ♦ spades ♠ clubs ♣
Each suit has 13 values:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 jack queen king ace
a)Probability of getting queen on the first =4/52
After replacing the card again total number of cards is 52 and number of queen is 4
Probability of getting queen on the second =4/52
P(queen on the first and queen on the second)=
b) Probability of getting queen on the first =4/52
After replacing the card again total number of cards is 52 and number of king's 4
Probability of getting king on the second =4/52
P(queen on the first and queen on the second)=
c. Probability of getting queen on the first =4/52
Probability of getting spade on the second =13/52
P(queen on the first and spade on the second)=
