Question

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards What is the probability that it is a black card

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{2}$

There are 52 cards so total number of possible outcomes = 52
(a) There are 26 black cards so P (black card) $=1-\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$
