Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red suit.

Answer 1

Total number of outcomes = 52

Let E₁ be the event of getting a king of red suit.

Number of favourable outcomes = 2

∴ P(getting a king of red suit) = P(E₁) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_1)/ "Number of all possible outcomes"`

`= 2/52 = 1/26`

Thus, the probability of getting a king of red suit is `1/26`.
