Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Calculate the probability that the card will be a black card

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{5}{6}$
• C. $\frac{25}{52}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{2}$

Total no. of cards $=52$

$\therefore$ Total number of events $=52$

Let E be an event of getting a black card $n\left(E\right)=26$

$\therefore P\left(E\right)=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$
