Question

A single card is drawn at random from a standard deck of $52$ playing cards. Compute the probability to get the card is a black king.

• A. $\frac{1}{26}$
• B. $\frac{2}{13}$
• C. $\frac{13}{52}$
• D. $\frac{11}{52}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{26}$

Total number of playing cards $=52$

Number of black king in a deck of $52$ cards $=2$

$P$ (getting card is a black king) $=$ $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}}$

$=$ $\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
