Question

A single card is chosen at random from a standard pack of 52 playing cards what is the
probability of choosing a king?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 4/52 because there is only four kings in playing cards(Trash)

Answer 2

Given :

• A single card is chosen from a deck of 52 card.

To Find :

• Probability of getting a card of king.

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Total\:Outcomes=52}$

As we know that there are 4 kings in a deck of 52 cards. So ,

$\longmapsto\tt{Favourable\:Outcomes=4}$

Now ,

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{Probability=\frac{No.\:of\:Fav.\:Outcomes}{Total\:No.\:of\:Outcomes}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{\cancel\dfrac{4}{52}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{\dfrac{1}{12}}$

So , The Probability of getting a king is 1/12...
