Question
**Title: Understanding Experimental Probability with a Deck of Cards**

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards divided into four suits: hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades.

**Question: How would you find the experimental probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of cards?**

**Options:**

1. **Option A:**
   - Draw a card from the deck, record if it is a heart, then set the card to the side.
   - Repeat 40 times.
   - Divide the number of results by 40.

2. **Option B:**
   - Divide the number of hearts in the deck by 52.

3. **Option C:**
   - Divide the number of cards in the deck that are not hearts by 52.

4. **Option D:**
   - Draw a card from the deck, record if it is a heart, then return the card to the deck.
   - Repeat 40 times.
   - Divide the number of results by 40.

**Explanation:**
Understanding how experimental probability works involves conducting an experiment (like the repeated drawing of cards) to estimate the likelihood of a specific outcome. Here, you evaluate how often you draw a heart when drawing cards repeatedly, using either method A or D. The other options, B and C, relate to theoretical probability calculations.
