One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting: (i) a queen of red color (ii) a black face card

Solution:

We have,

Total possible outcomes = 52

(i) Number queens of red color = 2

Number of favorable outcomes = 2

Hence, P(queen of red color) = 2/52

(ii) Number of black cards = 26

Number of black face cards = 6

So, the number of favorable outcomes = 6

Hence, P(black face card) = 6/52 = 3/26
