Question

A card is drawn at random from a regular deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of each event. A spade is drawn.

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

The sample space is a regular deck of 52 cards. Since selection of a card is random, so the outcomes in SS are equaly likely. Let EE be the event of drawing a spade. Then n(E)=13n(E) = 13. Therefore P(E)=n(E)n(S)=1352=14P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)} = \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}.
