Question

one card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards find the probability of getting (i) an ace card(ii)a red card(iii)either a red or a king card?

Answer 1

Hello mate,

Here is your answer,

Total no: of cards = 52

1. P(an ace card) = 4/52 = 1/13

2. P(A red card) = 26/52 = 1/2

3.. P(either a red or a king card) = 28/52 = 7/13

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) 1/13

(ii)1/2

(iii) 7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of favorable outcomes n(S) = 52.

(i)

Probability of getting an ace card =4.

So, number of favorable outcomes n(A) = 4.

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

       = 4/52

       = 1/13

(ii)

Probability of getting a red card = 26.

So, number of favorable outcomes = 26.

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

      = 26/52

      = 1/2.

(ii)

Probability of getting a red or kind card = 26 + 2

So, number of favorable outcomes = 28

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

      = 28/52

     = 7/13.

Hope it helps!
