Choosing Four Hearts
probability · independent compound probability with replacement
Find the probability of choosing 4 heart cards in a row when each card is replaced before the next draw.
Choosing Four Hearts is a Grade 7 probability investigation built around drawing heart cards with replacement. Students first predict the chance of drawing four hearts in a row, then analyze the repeated probability of 13 out of 52 for each draw and multiply the independent-event probabilities. Comparing predictions with the calculated result makes the size of a compound probability easier to discuss.
Use it as a whole-class probability lesson when introducing independent events and the multiplication rule. The card context gives students a concrete event to reason about before formalizing the calculation.
