Question 14 (v)
One card is drawn from a well–shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a spade.

Answer 1

There are 13 cards of spade in a pack of well–shuffled deck of 52 cards.
$\therefore$ Favourable outcomes = 13
Total number of outcomes= 52
Hence, P (getting a spade)
$=\frac{Favourableoutcomes}{Totalnumberofoutcomes}$= $\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$
