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