One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards what is the probability of getting a red face card

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a red face card.

Favourable outcomes = 2red kings + 2red queens + 2red jack = 6

Total outcomes = 52

`P(E)="Number of outcomes favourable to E"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`=6/52`

`=3/26`

Thus, the probability of getting a red face card is `3/26`.

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a black king.

Favourable outcomes = 2 (because there are 4 kings, 2 black and 2 red)

Total outcomes = 52

`P(E) = "Number of outcomes favourable to E"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`=2/52`

`=1/26`

Thus, the probability of getting a black king is`1/26.`
