Solution :
A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards, find the probability of
i) Red king
→ Favourable outcomes = 1 + 1 = 2
→Total outcomes = 52
→Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total outcomes
→Probability = 2/52
→Probability = 1/26
ii) 2 of diamond
→Favourable outcomes = 1
→Total outcomes = 52
→Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total outcomes
→Probability = 1/52
iii) A black card
→Favourite outcomes = 13 + 13 = 26
→Total outcomes = 52
→Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total outcomes
→Probability = 26/52
→Probability = 1/2
iv) A jack
→Favourable outcomes = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4
→Total outcomes = 52
→Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total outcomes
→Probability = 4/52
→Probability = 1/13
Always keep in mind :
- Each card has four suites hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds.
- Each suites have king, queen and jack.
- Each suites have also numbers from 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and ace.
