vi) An ace
Answers
Answer:
i ) 1/13 ; ii ) 1/2 ; iii ) 1/26 ; iv ) 1/4 ; v ) 1/52 ; vi ) 1/13
Step-by-step explanation:
i ) Number of kings in a deck of cards = 4
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 4/52
= 1/13
ii ) Number of red cards in a deck of cards = 26
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 26/52
= 1/2
iii ) Number of red kings in a deck of cards = 2
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 2/52
= 1/26
iv ) Number of spades in a deck of cards = 13
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 13/52
= 1/4
v ) Number of spade kings in a deck of cards = 1
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 1/52
= 1/52
vi ) Number of aces in a deck of cards = 4
Total number of cards = 52
Probability = Favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
= 4/52
= 1/13
