Question

A card is selected at random from a well shuffled pack of cards What is the probability that it will be a numbered card?

• A. $\frac{1}{52}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{9}{13}$
• D. $\frac{5}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{9}{13}$

Total number of cards $=52$
Total number of numbered cards $=9+9+9+9=36$
So, probability of getting a numbered card when a card is selected at random $=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{36}{52}=\frac{9}{13}$
