Question

A

2​-card

hand is dealt from a standard​ 52-card deck, and then one of the

2

cards is chosen at random. If the chosen card is a​ diamond, what is the probability that it is the only diamond among the

2

​cards?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total cards = 52

Total diamond card= 13

One card is selected and which is diamond. Thus,

Total diamond cards left = 13-1=12

Total cards left = 52-1=51

Total cards left that are not diamond = 51-12=39
