Question

One card is drawn from a well- shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of drawing
(i) an ace (ii) a '4' of spades
(iii) a '9' of a black suit (iv) a red king.

Answer 1

One card is drawn from a well- shuffled deck of 52 cards
i) favourable outcomes = 4
probability = $\frac{4}{52}$ = $\frac{1}{13}$

ii) favorable outcome = 1
probability = $\frac{1}{52}$

iii) favourable outcomes = 2
probability = $\frac{2}{52}$ = probability = $\frac{1}{26}$

iv)favourable outcomes = 2
probability = $\frac{2}{52}$ = probability = $\frac{1}{26}$
