Question

What is the probability of getting a card of Queen from the deck of playing cards?

(a) \(\frac {1}{2}\)

(b) \(\frac {1}{13}\)

(c) \(\frac {5}{26}\)

(d) \(\frac {1}{52}\)

I have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from Theoretical Approach to Probability topic in portion Probability of Mathematics – Class 10

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) \(\frac {1}{13}\)

To explain: Total number of outcomes = 52

Favorable outcomes of getting a card of Queen = 4

P(E) = \(\frac {Number \, of \, favorable \, outcomes}{Total \, number \, of \, outcomes} = \frac {4}{52}\)

= \(\frac {1}{13}\)
