Question
A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a black king.
Solution
Favourable outcomes = 2 (because there are 4 kings, 2 black and 2 red)
Total outcomes = 52
`P(E) = "Number of outcomes favourable to E"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`=2/52`
`=1/26`
Thus, the probability of getting a black king is`1/26.`
