Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a jack of spades.

• A. $\frac{1}{52}$
• B. $\frac{9}{13}$
• C. $\frac{6}{13}$
• D. $\frac{1}{26}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{1}{52}$

Number of jack card in spades out of $52$ cards $=1$

$P$ (getting a jack of spades) $=$ $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}}$$=\frac{1}{52}$
