Question

a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. find the probability of getting (i) a king of red colour (ii) a jack of hearts

Answer 1

Answer:

1/26, 1/52

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck. So, n(S) = 52

(i)

Let A be the probability of getting a king of red color.

n(A) = 2.

Required probability P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

                                         = 2/52

                                         = 1/26

(ii)

Let B be the event of probability of getting a jack of hearts.

n(B) = 1

Required probability P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

                                            = 1/52

Hope it helps!
