Question

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a black card.

Answer 1

Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52 

n(S) = 52 

Number of black cards (spade + clubs) = 26 = E  

n(E) = 26 

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