Question
A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a spade.
Solution
Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52
n(S) = 52
Number of spade cards = 13
E = event of drawing a spade
n(E) = 13
Probability of drawing a spade = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 13/52 = 1/4 `
