Question
A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a red king,
Solution
Total number of cards = 52
Number of red kings = 2
∴ P(getting a red king) =`"Number of favourable outcome"/ "Number of all possible outcomes"=2/52 = 1/26 `
Thus, the probability of getting a red king is `1/26`.
