From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, one card is drawn. Find the probability that the card drawn is a queen of black colour.

Answer 1

Total number of possible outcomes = 52

n(S) = 52

Event of drawing a queen of black colour = {Q(spade), Q(club)} = E 

n(E) = 2 

Probability of drawing a queen of black colour = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 2/52 = 1/26`
