Probability for the following events will be :-
The probability of an event E,P(E)=
Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
= n(E) / n(S)
Applying the concept of probability as shown above, let's calculate all the probabilities one by one.
(i) Probability of getting a king of red colour:
We know that, there are 26 red cards, 13 each of hearts and diamonds. Hence, there will be 1 king each in hearts and diamonds.
∴ Number of kings of red colour, n(E)=2
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting a king of red colour
= n(E) / n(S)
= 2 / 52
⇒ 1 / 26
Hence, the required probability is 1 / 26
(ii) Probability of getting a face card:
We know that, each suit has 3 face cards (Jack, Queen and King). Hence, there will be 12 face cards in total.
∴ Number of face cards, n(E)=12
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting a face card
= n(E) / n(S)
= 12 / 52
⇒ 3 / 13
Hence, the required probability is 3 / 13
(iii) Probability of getting the jack of hearts:
We know that, there is only one jack in hearts.
∴ Number of jack of hearts, n(E)=1
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting the jack of hearts =
n(E) / n(S)= 1 / 52
Hence, the required probability is 1 / 52
(iv) Probability of getting a red face card:
We know that, there are 26 red cards, 13 each of hearts and diamonds. Both hearts and diamonds have 3 face cards each.
∴ Number of red face cards, n(E)=6
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting a red face card =
n(E) / n(S) = 6 / 52
⇒ 3 / 26
Hence, the required probability is 3 / 26
(v) Probability of getting a spade:
We know that, there are 13 cards of spades.
∴ Number of spades, n(E)=13
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting a spade =
n(E) / n(S) = 13 / 52
⇒ 1 / 4
Hence, the required probability is 1 / 4
(vi) Probability of getting the queen of diamonds:
We know that, there are 13 cards of diamonds. There is 1 queen of diamonds.
∴ Number of queens in diamonds, n(E)=1
Also, total number of cards, n(S)=52
∴ Probability of getting the queen of diamonds =
n(E) / n(S) = 1 / 52
Hence, the required probability is 1/52
