Question
One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red suit.
Solution
Total number of outcomes = 52
Let E1 be the event of getting a king of red suit.
Number of favourable outcomes = 2
∴ P(getting a king of red suit) = P(E1) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_1)/ "Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 2/52 = 1/26`
Thus, the probability of getting a king of red suit is `1/26`.
