Question

One card is drawn from a deck of $52$ cards, what is the probability that the card drawn is an ace?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{13}$
• D. $\frac{1}{52}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{13}$

Total no. of cards $n\left(S\right)=52$

Total no. of "ace" cards,n(E)=4

$\therefore Probability\left(P\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
