Answer» Probability = possible outcomes / total outcomes (1) Number of face cards in deck of 52 cards = 12 Probability of getting face card = 12/52 = 3/13 (2) Number of red cards in deck of 52 cards = 26 Probability of getting redcard = 26/52 = 1/2 (3) Number of ace cards in deck of 52 cards = 4 Probability of getting acecard = 4/52 = 1/13 (4) Number of spade cards in deck of 52 cards = 13 Probability of getting spade card = 13/52 = 1/4

One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of gettingi) Face cardii) Red cardiii) Ace cardiv) Spade card

Answer»

Probability = possible outcomes / total outcomes

(1) Number of face cards in deck of 52 cards = 12

Probability of getting face card = 12/52 = 3/13

(2) Number of red cards in deck of 52 cards = 26

Probability of getting redcard = 26/52 = 1/2

(3) Number of ace cards in deck of 52 cards = 4

Probability of getting acecard = 4/52 = 1/13

(4) Number of spade cards in deck of 52 cards = 13

Probability of getting spade card = 13/52 = 1/4
