Question

Find the probability of getting an ace from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards?

• A. 1/9
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/13
• D. 1/52

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1/13

Number of aces = 4

Total number of cards = 52

Probability of getting an ace
$=\frac{\text{No. of aces}}{\text{Total no. of cards}}$
$=\frac{4}{52}$
$=\frac{1}{13}$
