Question

If one card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. If each outcome is equally likely, then the probability of a diamond card is

• A. $\frac{1}{16}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{4}$

The number of possible outcomes is $52$
Let $A$ be the event 'the card drawn is a diamond'
$\therefore$The number of events in $A$ is $13.$
$\therefore$ Probability of diamond card is $\frac{13}{52}$ i.e. $\frac{1}{4}$
