One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red suit
Solution
Total no. of possible outcomes = 52 (52 cards)
E ⟶ event of getting a king of red suit
No. of favourable outcomes = 2 {king heart & king of diamond}
P(E), =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"'Total no.of possible outcomes"`=2/52 =1/26
