Question

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

(i) a king of red colour.

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52
∴ n(S) = 52
Now,
Let A be the event of getting a king of red colour.
We know:
Number of kings of red colour = 2
$\therefore$ n (A) = 2
And,
P (A) = $\frac{n\left(A\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
∴ Probability of getting a king of red colour = $\frac{1}{26}$
