Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting

(i) a king of red colour (ii) a face card (iii) a red face card
(iv) the jack of hearts (v) a spade (vi) the queen of diamonds

Answer 1

Answer: 

Possible numbers of events = 52

(i) Numbers of king of red colour = 2
Probability of getting a king of red colour = 2/52 = 1/26

(ii) Numbers of face cards = 12
Probability of getting a face card = 12/52 = 3/13

(iii) Numbers of red face cards = 6
Probability of getting a king of red colour = 6/52 = 3/26

(iv) Numbers of jack of hearts =1
Probability of getting a king of red colour = 1/526

(v) Numbers of king of spade = 13
Probability of getting a king of red colour = 13/52 = 1/4

(vi) Numbers of queen of diamonds = 1
Probability of getting a king of red colour = 1/52
