Question

A card is random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. find probability that the card drawn is 1)a spade 2)ace card 3)red card.​

Answer 1

1) Total number of outcomes= 52

    Number of favorable outcomes= 13

 P( Getting a spade)= $\frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}$

2) Number of favorable outcomes= 4

 P( Getting an ace)=$\frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$

3) Number of favorable outcomes= 26

 P( Getting red card)=$\frac{26}{52}= \frac{1}{2}$
