Question

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

(i) the jack of hearts.

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52
∴ n (S) = 52
Now,
Let A be the event of getting the jack of hearts.
We know:
Number of jacks of hearts = 1
$\therefore$ n (A) = 1
And,
P (A) = $\frac{n\left(A\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{1}{52}$
$\therefore$ Probability of getting the jack of hearts = $\frac{1}{52}$
