Question

Five cards,the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds are well-shuffled with their faces downwards. One card is then picked up at random. What is the probability that the drawn card is the queen? 

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 5.

Number of queens = 1.

∴ P(getting a queen) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`=1/5`

Thus, the probability that the drawn card is the queen is `1/5`.
