Question

a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. find the probability of getting 1.a red card 2.a king 3. a card of spades with expalanation

Answer 1

a. 26/52 = 1/2
b. 4/52 = 1/3
c. 13/52 = 1/4

Answer 2

total no of outcomes(c)=52
total no. of red cards=26
total no of kings=4
total no of spades=13

probability =possible no of outcomes/total no. of out comes
1)probability of getting red card=26/52=>1/2
2)probability of getting  kings=4/52=>1/13
3)probability of getting spades=13/52=>1/4
