Question
From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, one card is drawn. Find the probability that the card drawn is a card with number 5 or 6.
Solution
Total number of possible outcomes = 52
n(S) = 52
Event of drawing a card with number 5 or 6 = E = {5H, 5D, 5S, 5C, 6H, 6D, 6S, 6C}
n(E) = 8
Probability of drawing a card with number 5 or 6 = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 8/52 = 2/13`
