WILLs<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities is the number of cards in the deck, 52.<br />

The number of cards that WILL, is the number of Aces in the<br />

deck, 4.<br />

The probability that the first card off a well-shuffled deck<br />

will be an Ace is<br />

WILLs<br />

= Probability as decimal ratio to 1<br />

Total Possibilities.<br />

WILLs<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

4 = .0769<br />

52<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

4 * 100 = 7.69%<br />

52<br />

Another way to calculate probabilities is to multiply the<br />

probability of the components. For example, the probability<br />

of finding a pair of Aces in the hole in Hold’em can be found<br />

by<br />

WILLs<br />

= Probability as decimal ratio to 1<br />

Total Possibilities.<br />

With 6 possible pairs of Aces and 1,326 possible pairs, the<br />

probability of Aces is<br />

6 = .0045249<br />

1,326<br />
