Question

A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a spade?

• A. $\frac{1}{8}$
• B. 0.33
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. 0.25

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

0.25

Sample space = total number of cards in deck = 52.

Favorable outcome (getting a spade) = 13.

Hence, P(getting a spade) = $\frac{13}{52}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$.
