One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting
(i) a king of red colour
(ii) a face card
(iii) a red face card
(iv) the jack of hearts
(v) a spade
(vi) the queen of diamonds
Total number of possible outcomes = 52
P(E) = (Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes)
(i) Total numbers of king of red colour = 2
P (getting a king of red colour) = 2/52
= 1/26 = 0.038
(ii) Total numbers of face cards = 12
P (getting a face card) = 12/52
= 3/13 = 0.23
(iii) Total numbers of red face cards = 6
P (getting a king of red colour) = 6/52
= 3/26 = 0.11
(iv) Total numbers of jack of hearts = 1
P (getting a king of red colour) = 1/52 = 0.019
(v) Total numbers of king of spade = 13
P (getting a king of red colour) = 13/52
= 1/4 = 0.25
(vi) Total numbers of queen of diamonds = 1
P (getting a king of red colour) = 1/52 = 0.019
