Pamela Glass · Answer 1

The answer is A. The probability that you draw hearts than spades is 1/16 If drawing more than one card with replacement: The probability of drawing a specific card each time is 1/52n n = the number of draws. The probability of drawing a specific card each time is 1/13n. The probability of drawing a specific suit each time is 1/4n. Since you draw two types of cards, each time you drew is 1/4 so 1/4 times 1/4 is 1/16. Kind of cofusion right

Giovanny Bowman · Answer 2

1/16, because it is 1/4 for drawing one heart (13/52) and then 1/4 for drawing one spade (13/52) and then you multiply the two probabilities because that shows the probability for both happening.
