Question
A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a red and a king.
Solution
Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52
n(S) = 2
E = event of drawing a red and a king = {KH, KD}
n(E) = 2
Probability of drawing a red and a king = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 2/52 = 1/26`
