What did we do?

Card Based Probabilities

• Cards bring extra information - with dice we only cared about the values, with cards we can also introduce other categories e.g. suits.
• When we calculate the probabilities of card-like game structures, we must also include the extra information like counting.

Another probability formula we can use: HyperGeometric Distribution Formula (non-replacing probabilities within a given range)

This formula have four variables:

• The population size (N) (How many cards are in our deck)
• Sample size (n) (How many cards we will draw)
• The number of possible successes (K) (If we wanted to draw an ace, this is how many aces are in the deck)
• The number of successes we're looking for (k) (If we want to know the probability of drawing one of those aces. k = 1)
