A person bets 1 dollar to b dollars that he can draw two cards from an ordinary deck of cards without replacement and that they will be of the same suit. Find b so that the bet is fair.

$3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ordinary deck of cards, we will notice that there are 52 cards.

However, we have 4 suits and 13 cards in each one making a total of 52, right?.

So, the probability that a person draws two cards and they will be of the same   suit is:

Given that; A person bets 1 dollar to b dollars;

To make the bet fair is;

multiply both sides by 17

4b = 13

b = 13/4

b = 3.25

Therefore, to make the fair, the value of b need to be $3.25
