9. A card is drawn from a pack of well – shuffled 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card draw is,(iii) a king (iv) an ace or a queen

(iii)

The probability that getting a king,

In 52 playing cards there are 4 kings,

Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes to the event getting a king =4

Thus,

P(card drawn is a king) = Favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

=4/52

=1/13

(iv)

The probability that getting an ace or a queen,

In 52 playing cards there are 4 ace and 4 queens,

Now, the number of favorable outcomes to the event getting an ace or a queen =4+4

Thus,

P(card drawn is an ace or a queen) = Favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

=4/52+4/52

=1/13+1/13

=2/13
