In a full deck of 52 cards, there are 13 spades. A game is played whereby a card from is chosen at random from the deck. If the card is a spade, a winner is declared. If the card is not a spade, it is returned to the deck, the deck is reshuffled and another card is drawn. This process is repeated until a spade is drawn. What is the probability that one will pick the first spade on the second draw or later? Select.
A) 1 / 8  B) 1 / 4  C) 1 / 2  D) 3 / 4  E) 7 / 8

Rationale: favorable case = the spade is picked in the third draw or later unfavorable case = the spade is picked in either first draw or in second draw probability = favorable outcomes / total out comes also probability = 1 - ( unfavorable outcomes / total out comes ) unfavorable case : probability of spade picked in first draw = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4 i . e . , favorable probability = 1 - ( 1 / 4 ) = 3 / 4 answer option : d
Answer: D
