Explanation:

Step1: Calculate jack probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of jacks}}{\text{Total cards}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$

Step2: Convert fraction to percentage

$\frac{7}{8} \times 100\% = 87.5\% \approx 88\%$

Step3: Find sample space size

Multiply types by colors: $2 \times 3 = 6$

Step4: Calculate non-white car probability

Total cars = $10+8+42=60$. Non-white cars = $10+8=18$. Probability = $\frac{18}{60}=0.3$

Step5: Determine pink spin probability

No pink section, so probability = $0$

Answer:

1. a) 1/13
2. d) 88%
3. b) 6
4. c) .3
5. a) 0
