Question 14:
One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting
(i) a king of red colour
(ii) a face card
(iii) a red face card
(iv) the jack of hearts
(v) a spade
(vi) the queen of diamonds
Answer:
Total number of cards in a well-shuffled deck = 52
(i) Total number of kings of red colour = 2
P (getting a king of red colour)
= 2/52 = 1/26
(ii) Total number of face cards = 12
P (getting a face card)
= 12/52 = 3/13
(iii) Total number of red face cards = 6
P (getting a red face card)
= 6/52 = 3/26
(iv) Total number of Jack of hearts = 1
P (getting a Jack of hearts)
= 1/52
(v) Total number of spade cards = 13
P (getting a spade card)
= 13/52 = 1/4
(vi) Total number of queen of diamonds = 1
P (getting a queen of diamond)
= 1/52
