Rayoni pulled cards from a standard deck. She picked a card, recorded the suit, and put it back. She repeated the process many times. Predict how many diamonds she would pick if she drew 170 cards.

1 answer

Based on the table, there are 52 cards in a standard deck, and 13 of them are diamonds. This means that the probability of picking a diamond is 13/52, which reduces to 1/4.

If Rayoni draws 170 cards, we can expect that she will pick around 1/4 of those cards to be diamonds. Therefore, 1/4 of 170 is 170/4 = 42.5.

Since you can't have half a card, we would predict that Rayoni would pick approximately 42 diamonds out of 170 cards drawn.
