Question

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, one card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the drawn card is a queen?
(a) $\frac{1}{4}$
(b) $\frac{1}{52}$
(c) $\frac{1}{13}$
(d) $\frac{1}{26}$

Answer 1

(c) $\frac{1}{13}$

Total number of cards $=52$
Number of queens = 4 (i.e., queen of hearts, queen of diamonds, queen of cloves and queen of spades)
$\mathrm{Now},{\mathrm{P}}_{\left(\mathrm{queen}\right)}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
