Question 14 (i)
One card is drawn from a well–shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red colour.

Answer 1

One card is drawn from a well–shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Total number of outcomes = 52
There are two suits of red cards, i.e diamond and heart. Each suit contains one king.
$\therefore$ The number of favourable outcomes = 2

Hence, P (getting a king of red colour)

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