Question:
A card is accidently dropped from a pack of 52 playing cards. The probability that it is an ace is
(a) $\frac{1}{4}$
(b) $\frac{1}{13}$
(c) $\frac{1}{52}$
(d) $\frac{12}{13}$
Solution:
GIVEN: One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards
TO FIND: Probability of getting an Ace
Total number of cards is 52
Cards which are Ace are 1 from each suit
Total number of Ace cards is
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting an Ace is equal to
Hence the correct option is
