Question

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

• A. 1/8
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/4
• D. 1/10

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C

1/4

D

1/10

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

Favorable outcome (getting a spade) = 13.

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