Question

One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards what is the probability that the digit is even is

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 52 cards, one card can be drawn in 52C1 ways.

Therefore exhaustive number of cases = 52C1 = 52.

(i) There are four aces in a pack of 52 cards, out of which one can be drawn in 4C1 ways.

Therefore, favourable number of cases = 4C1 = 4

So, required probability = 4/52 = 1/13

(ii) There are 26 red cards, out of which one red card can be drawn in 26C1 ways.

Therefore, favourable number of cases = 26C1 = 26

So, required probability = 26/52 = 1/2

(iii) There are 26 red cards including 2 red kings and there are 2 more kings. Therefore, there are 28 cards out of which one can be drawn in 28C1 ways.

Therefore, favourable number of cases = 28C1 = 28.

So, required probability = 28/52 = 7/13

(iv) There are 2 cards, which are red and king. Therefore, favourable number of cases = 2C1 = 2

So, required probability = 2/52 = 1/26

Answer 2

24\52 is the probability of drawing even no from 52 cards
