Maria is playing a game where she is trying to draw a spade from a standard deck of cards. if she doesn't get a spade, she replaces the card, shuffles the deck, and tries again. if she draws a card 3 times and doesn't get a spade, she loses. what is the probability that maria loses the game? a.17.8% b.23.7% c.42.2% d.31.6%

The correct answer is C. 42.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards in the deck of playing cards = 52

Number of spades in the deck of playing cards = 13

Number of cards other than spade = 52 - 13

                                                          = 39

If she draws a card 3 times and doesn't get a spade, she loses.

So, She loses only if he gets all the three cards other than spade

Now, The card is replaced if she does not get a spade.

Hence, The correct answer is C. 42.2%
