Here's your answer...
Total outcomes = 52
(i) Ace or King
There are 4 kings and 4 aces in a deck. Either one of them is favourable.
No. of favourable outcomes = 8
P(E) = 8/52 = 2/13
(ii) Red card and King
The drawn card must be a red card and a king simultaneously. There are only two such card: the King of Hearts and the King of Diamonds
No. of favourable outcomes = 2
P(E) = 2/52 = 1/26
(iii) Face card
A face card is a card which does not have any number on it. There are 12 such cards in a deck: 4 kings, 4 queens, 4 jacks.
No. of favourable outcomes = 12
P(E) = 12/52 = 3/13
(iv) King, Queen, Jack
There are 4 kings, 4 queens and 4 jacks in a deck.
No. of favourable outcomes = 12
P(E) = 12/52 = 3/13
