Answer 1

$\text{One card is drawn at random from a deck of well shuffled deck of 52 cards}\therefore \text{Possible outcomes =52}\text{(i) Probability of a card being a 4}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}\text{(ii) Probability of a card being queen}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}\text{(iii) Probability of a card being a red queen}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}\text{(iv) Probability of a card being a black card}=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$
