If One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Then Find the probability of getting: (i) A king of red suit (ii) A face card

Given that One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ playing cards

to find: Probability of following

we know that the Total number of cards are $52$

(i) Now, Total number of cards which are king of red suit is $2$

So, Number of favorable outcomes i.e. Total number of cards which are king of red suit is $2$

We know that the Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

Hence, the probability of getting cards which is a king of red suit $=2/52=1/26$

(ii) Total number of face cards are $12$

So, Number of favorable outcomes i.e. total number of face cards is $12$

As We know that Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

Therefore, the probability of getting a face cards $=12/52=3/13$
