Solution

Sure, let's break it down step by step.

  1. Understand the deck composition: A standard deck of cards has 52 cards, divided into 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades), each with 13 cards (Ace through King).

  2. Identify even-numbered cards: In each suit, the even-numbered cards are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. So, there are 5 even-numbered cards per suit.

  3. Calculate total even-numbered cards: Since there are 4 suits, and each suit has 5 even-numbered cards: 4 suits×5 even-numbered cards per suit=20 even-numbered cards 4 \text{ suits} \times 5 \text{ even-numbered cards per suit} = 20 \text{ even-numbered cards}

  4. Calculate the probability: The probability of drawing an even-numbered card is the number of even-numbered cards divided by the total number of cards in the deck: Probability=Number of even-numbered cardsTotal number of cards=2052 \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of even-numbered cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{20}{52}

  5. Simplify the fraction: 2052=513 \frac{20}{52} = \frac{5}{13}

  6. Convert to decimal form: 5130.3846 \frac{5}{13} \approx 0.3846

  7. Round to 4 decimal places: 0.3846 0.3846

So, the probability of drawing an even-numbered card from a standard deck is approximately 0.3846.
