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 black 6?
(a) $\frac{3}{26}$
(b) $\frac{1}{26}$
(c) $\frac{1}{13}$
(d) $\frac{1}{52}$

Answer 1

(b) $\frac{1}{26}$

Total number of cards = 52
Total number of black 6 cards = 2 (6 of spades, 6 of cloves)
Now, ${\mathrm{P}}_{(\mathrm{b}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{k}6)}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
