Multiple choice

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Find the probability that the card drawn bears a number between $3$ and $8$ both inclusive:

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{13}$
  2. $\displaystyle \frac{2}{13}$
  3. $\displaystyle \frac{7}{13}$

AI explanation

The numbers between 3 and 8 inclusive are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, which corresponds to 6 different ranks across all 4 suits. The total number of such cards in the deck is 6 multiplied by 4, which equals 24. The probability of drawing one of these cards is 24 / 52, which simplifies to 6 / 13. Since 6 / 13 is not listed among the choices, the correct result is None of these.
