I have never understood much about probability; could you please offer me some clues, for example by posting what you have done so far?mayra1223 said:

Probability in this context refers to the likelihood of drawing a certain card or set of cards from a deck. It is calculated by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
To calculate the probability of drawing a specific card, divide the number of that card in the deck by the total number of cards in the deck. For example, if you have a standard deck of 52 cards and want to know the probability of drawing a King, you would divide 4 (the number of Kings in a deck) by 52, which equals 0.077 or 7.7%.
The formula for calculating the probability of drawing multiple cards in a row is to multiply the probabilities of each individual draw. For example, if you want to know the probability of drawing a King and then a Queen from a standard deck of 52 cards, you would multiply 4/52 (probability of drawing a King) by 4/51 (probability of drawing a Queen from the remaining 51 cards), which equals 0.006 or 0.6%.
The probability of drawing cards changes as cards are drawn because the total number of cards in the deck decreases with each draw. This means that the number of desired outcomes also decreases, resulting in a lower probability of drawing a specific card. For example, in a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of drawing an Ace on the first draw is 4/52 (7.7%), but on the second draw, it becomes 4/51 (7.8%) because there is now one less Ace in the deck.
No, probability cannot be used to predict the exact order in which cards will be drawn. While it can tell you the likelihood of drawing a certain card, it cannot determine the exact order in which the cards will appear. This is because each draw is independent and previous draws do not affect future ones.
