Answer 2

ANSWER:

a) a black card=

Total black cards=. 13+13 ( club and spade, each shape has 13 cards)= 26 cards.

(probability- no of black cards/total)

probability - 26/52

- 1/2

b) a king - ( 4 shapes hence 4 kings)

probability- 4/52

- 1/13

c) a card of diamond- (total 13)

probability- 13/52

-1/4
