Question

If a card is drawn from a pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a black card:

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ Cards of spades and clubs are black cards.

Number of spades = $13$

Number of clubs = $13$

Therefore, total number of black card out of $52$ cards = $13$ + $13$ = $26$

Therefore, probability of getting $‘ablackcar{d}^{\prime }$

$P\left(H\right)$ $=$ {Number Of Favorable Outcomes } / {Total Number of Outcomes}

= $\frac{26}{52}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$
