Question

The probability of getting a black face card from a well-shuffled 52 pack card is___

• A. $\frac{1}{13}$
• B. $\frac{3}{26}$
• C. $\frac{1}{52}$
• D. $\frac{2}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{3}{26}$

The number of black face cards in a 52 pack card is 6. Hence the number of favourable outcomes is 6 and the total number of outcomes is 52.

Therefore the probability of getting a black, face card from a well-shuffled 52 pack card = $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$ = $\frac{6}{52}$ = $\frac{3}{26}$
