Question
A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is – an ace.
Solution
A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards.
‘S’ is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace
∴ n(A) = 4
`∴ P(A) = (n(A))/(n(S)`
`= 4/52`
`=1/13`
Hence, the probability that the card drawn is an ace is = `1/13`.
