Question

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

Answer 1

Let E₅ be the event of getting a jack of hearts.

Number of favourable outcomes = 1

∴ P(getting a jack of hearts) = P(E₅) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_5)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`= 1/52`

Thus, the probability of getting a jack of hearts is `1/52`.
