Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(X\) be the event of getting spade \[ \begin{aligned} & P(X=0)=\frac{39}{52} \times \frac{39}{52}=\frac{9}{16} \\ & P(X=1)=\frac{13}{52} \times \frac{39}{52}=\frac{3}{16} \\ & P(X=2)=\frac{13}{52} \times \frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{16} \end{aligned} \] \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}…
