On Card guessing with two types of cards

Combinatorics 2023-03-09 v1 Probability

Abstract

We consider a card guessing strategy for a stack of cards with two different types of cards, say m1m_1 cards of type red (heart or diamond) and m2m_2 cards of type black (clubs or spades). Given a deck of M=m1+m2M=m_1+m_2 cards, we propose a refined counting of the number of correct color guesses, when the guesser is provided with complete information, in other words, when the numbers m1m_1 and m2m_2 and the color of each drawn card are known. We decompose the correct guessed cards into three different types by taking into account the probability of making a correct guess, and provide joint distributional results for the underlying random variables as well as joint limit laws.
