Question
One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red colour.
Solution
Total number of cards in a well-shuffled deck = 52
Total number of kings of red colour = 2
P (getting a king of red colour) =`"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`
= `2/52`
= `1/26`
