Question

In a game of blackjack, a 2-card hand consisting of an ace and a face card or a 10 is called a blackjack. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) If a player is dealt 2 cards from a standard deck of 52 well-shuffled cards, what is the probability that the player will receive a blackjack?


(b) If a player is dealt 2 cards from 2 well shuffled standard decks, what is the probability that the player will receive a blackjack?

Answer 1

(a) P(A,F) = 4/52 * 16/51
P(F,A) = 16/52 * 4/51
so, add them up.

(b) should be clear, but with more cards.
