A deck of cards contains 52 different cards. The probability of drawing a 10
of spades is 1/52. What type of probability is this?
A. Fractional probability
B. Empirical probability
C. Random probability
D. Theoretical probability
This type of probability is called theoretical probability.
Theoretically, you should be able to draw a 10 of spades 1 out of 52 times, which makes the probability 1/52.
The other main type of probability is experimental probability, which means if you draw 52 cards and draw the 10 of spades 8 times, the theoretical probability is still 1/52, but the experimental probability is 8/52.
