Question

What is the probability of getting a king if a card is drawn from a pack of $52$ cards?

• A. $\frac{1}{52}$
• B. $\frac{2}{52}$
• C. $\frac{3}{52}$
• D. $\frac{4}{52}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{4}{52}$

Given:

Set of 52 cards.

Hence the total number of ways = 52

Sample space has 4 kings cards, 2 red card king and 2 black card king.

Hence the number of favourable ways = 4

To find:

The probability of getting a king.

We know,

$P\left(\text{getting a card}\right)=\frac{\text{No. of faourable ways}}{\text{total no. of ways}}=\frac{4}{52}$
