Question

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

• A. $\frac{5}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{1}{4}$

Total number of playing cards $=52$

Number of hearts in a deck of $52$ cards $=13$

$P$ (getting a card is a heart) $=$ $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}}$

$=$ $\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$
