Answer 1

Answer:

(i) 1/52 (ii) 1/13 (iii) 1/26 (iv) 1/4 (v)1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Values,

Total Outcomes = 52

(i) '2' of Spades:

As there is only one card of 2 of Spades,

Let, S the 2 of Spades

P(S) = Outcomes Favoring S/ Total Outcomes

= 1/52

(ii) A Jack:

As there are Four Cards of Jack,

Let, J be the jack cards

P(J) = Outcomes Favoring J/ Total Outcomes

= 4/52 = 1/13

(iii) A King of Red Color:

As There are 2 Cards of King In Red Color,

Let, K be The King Cards

P(K) = Outcomes Favoring K/Total Outcomes

= 2/52 = 1/26

(iv) A Card of Diamond:

As There are 13 Cards of Diamond,

Let, D be The Diamond Cards

P(D) = Outcomes Favoring D/Total Outcomes

= 13/52 = 1/4

(iv) A King or a Queen Spade:

As there are 2 cards of spade,

Let, Q be the king and queen of spade

P(Q) = Outcomes Favoring Q/Total Outcomes

= 2/52 = 1/26
