1♠ was "standard", promising 5.
What would you say is the approximate probability distribution of doubler's (opener's) spade length?

raise p(3) if they are new to playing support doubles bridge support doubles.

I think it is a takeout double. I might do it with 3 if I had a GF and I thought spades may not be the best strain.

Like most others, I think two cards is the most likely, three cards very unlikely. Gwnn's numbers are fine by me. But I also think you will learn more soon. If you rebid in one minor or the other and now he bids 4♠, surely that must be two card support, maybe something like Qx, offering a choice of games.
