Question

One card is drawn at random from a pack of cards. Find the probability of getting a diamond card.

Answer 1

A deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards out of which 26 are black cards and  other 26 are red cards, where red cards consists of 13 cards of heart , 13 cards of diamond and black cards consists of 13 cards  of spades and 13 cards are club.
13 cards in each suit are king ,queen, Jack, 10, 9,8,7,6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.

King, queen ,and jack are called face cards. Total number of face cards are 12.

SOLUTION:

Total number of outcomes = 52
Favourable outcomes = 13 cards are of Diamond.
Total number of favourable outcomes = 13

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes.

Required probability = P(Diamond) = 13/52= 1/4
Hence, the probability of getting a diamond card is ¼.
