Question

A card is drawn from a deck having $52$ cards. What is the probability that the drawn card is a jack or a queen?

• A. $\frac{2}{13}$
• B. $\frac{1}{13}$
• C. $\frac{3}{13}$
• D. $\frac{4}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{2}{13}$

Number of cards in a deck $=52$

Number of jack card $=4$

Number of queen card $=4$

The probability of getting a jack or a queen is $\text{P(J)}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{P(J)}=\frac{4+4}{52}=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}$
