Playing Cards and Probability WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is based on the theme of a deck of playing cards (which is displayed at the top of the page for any students not familiar with suits, royal cards etc.) and students will list the probability of various outcomes when one card is pulled from the deck. Probabilities are to be written as fractions and simplified where possible.
Examples of outcomes listed include finding the probability of getting: a red card, a prime club, the ten of hearts, hearts or an ace and so on. We have also included a section that asks “What is the probability of NOT getting…”.
