Select the answer choice that has the lowest probability of occurring.

Using a standard deck of cards, drawing a black Queen

Using a standard deck of cards, drawing a King

Using a standard deck of cards, drawing an ace

Using a standard deck of cards, drawing a spade

Explanation

Probability is represented by a number between and .

Probabilities are usually written in a fraction form that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. The greater the fraction—or number—then there is a better probability of the event occurring.

Each of our answer choices use a standard deck of cards, which has total cards.

First, let's find the probability of each event:

Drawing a King: There are four Kings in a standard deck; thus, the probability is:

$\frac{4}{52}$

Drawing an ace: There are four aces in a standard deck; thus, the probability is:

$\frac{4}{52}$

Drawing a spade: There are spades in a standard deck; thus, the probability is:

$\frac{13}{52}$

Drawing a black Queen: There are two black Queens in a standard deck; thus, the probability is:

$\frac{2}{52}$

This is the lowest probability and the correct answer.
