Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a queen of red colour

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{1}{26}$

Total number of cards in a well-shuffled deck $=52$

Total number of queen of red colour $=2$

P(getting a queen of red colour) $=$ $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}}$

$=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
