you draw five card from a standard deck of 52 cards p(heart)=4/5. what type of probability is illustrated and why??

1) Theroretical ; the result is based on then number of possible outcomes

2) Theroretical; the result is found by repeating an experiment

3)Expiremental; the result is based on then number of possible outcomes •••

4) Expirmental; the result is found by repeating an experiment

1 answer

depends what you mean by p(heart)

Is it the probability that you will get at least one heart in your 5 draws?
let's find the prob of NO hearts
= C(39,5) / C(52,5) = .2215..

so the prob of at least 1 heart = 1 - .2215..
= appr .7785

but it was given as 4/5 or .8
so it could not have been theoretical

I agree with your choice.
Did you reason it out the same way?
