Question

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

Answer 1

Total number of outcomes = 52

Let E₄ be the event of getting a queen of black suit.

Number of favourable outcomes = 2

∴ P(getting a queen of black suit) = P(E₄) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_4)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`=2/52 = 1/26`

Thus, the probability of getting a queen of black suit is `1/26`.
