Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer:
From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, one card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the drawn card is a queen?
(a) $\frac{1}{4}$
(b) $\frac{1}{52}$
(c) $\frac{1}{13}$
(d) $\frac{1}{26}$
Solution:
(c) $\frac{1}{13}$
Total number of cards $=52$
Number of queens $=4$ (i.e., queen of hearts, queen of diamonds, queen of cloves and queen of spades)
Now, $\mathrm{P}_{(\text {queen })}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
