Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can classify types of cards in a deck in two ways:

• Based on color of cards
• Based on suits
• Based on Colour of Cards

There are two colors of cards in each deck:

• Red
• Black

The suits which are represented by red cards are hearts and diamonds while the suits represented by black cards are spades and clubs.

There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards.

Based on Suits

Suits in a deck of cards are the representations of red and black color on the cards.

Suits of Cards in a Deck

Based on suits, the types of cards in a deck are:

• Spades
• Hearts
• Diamonds
• Clubs

Let's see what each suit represents:

• Spades
• Suits in a Deck of Cards: Spade
• Hearts
• Suits in a Deck of Cards: Heart
• Diamonds
• Suits in a Deck of Cards: Diamond
• Clubs

Suits in a Deck of Cards: Club  

There are 52 cards in a deck.

Each card can be categorized into 4 suits constituting 13 cards each.

There is one more categorization of a deck of cards:

• Face cards
• Number cards
• Aces

Face Cards

These cards are also known as court cards.

They are Kings, Queens, and Jacks in all 4 suits.

Number Cards

All the cards from 2 to 10 in any suit are called the number cards.

These cards have numbers on them along with each suit being equal to the number on number cards.

Aces

There are 4 Aces in every deck, 1 of every suit.

Aces in a Deck

• There are 13 cards of each suit, consisting of 1 Ace, 3 face cards, and 9 number cards.
• There are 4 Aces, 12 face cards, and 36 number cards in a 52 card deck.
• Probability of drawing any card will always lie between 0 and 1.
• The number of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs is same in every pack of 52 cards.

Here the event E is drawing a king from a deck of cards.

There are 52 cards in a deck of cards.

Hence, total number of outcomes = 52

The number of favorable outcomes = 4 (as there are 4 kings in a deck)

Hence, the probability of this event occuring is

P(E) = 4/52 = 1/13
