From a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of drawing a heart?
A$\dfrac{1}{2}$
B$\dfrac{1}{4}$
C$\dfrac{13}{52}$
DBoth B and C are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Both B and C are correct
A standard deck has 13 hearts out of 52 cards. So the probability is $\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac14$. Hence both options B and C represent the same correct value, so D is the intended correct choice.
