Step 1 ：At a town fair, for one of the game booths contestants pick a single card from a standard deck and payouts are based on the card chosen. Express your answers as reduced fractions.

Step 2 ：Find the probability that your card is

Step 3 ：Part 1 of 8

Step 4 ：(a) The 3 of clubs.

Step 5 ：The probability that the first card picked up was a 3 of clubs is \(\frac{1}{52}\).

Step 6 ：Part: 1 / 8

Step 7 ：Part 2 of 8

Step 8 ：(b) A black card.

Step 9 ：The probability that the first card picked up was a black card is

Step 10 ：There are 26 black cards in a standard deck of 52 cards. So, the probability of picking a black card is \(\frac{26}{52}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Step 11 ：Final Answer: The probability that the first card picked up was a black card is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}\).
