Question

A card is drawn is from pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability of drawing an ace

• A. $\frac{1}{52}$
• B. $\frac{1}{26}$
• C. $\frac{3}{52}$
• D. $\frac{1}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{13}$

Given:

Set of 52 cards.

To find:

The probability of getting an ace

Hence the total number of ways = $52$

Sample space has $4$ ace cards, $2$ red card ace and $2$ black card ace.

Hence the number of favourable ways = $4$

We know,

$P\left(\text{getting a card}\right)=\frac{\text{No. of faourable ways}}{\text{total no. of ways}}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
