Question
A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is ace of diamonds.
Solution
Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52
n(S) = 52
There is only one ace of diamonds.
E = event of drawing an ace of diamonds
n(E) = 1
Probability of drawing an ace of diamonds = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 1/52`
