Question

One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of a card being an ace.

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{12}$
• C. $\frac{1}{13}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{13}$

Total number of cards, $n\left(S\right)=52$

Number of ace in all the cards, $n\left(E\right)=4$

Hence the probability of a card being an ace $=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
