The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will find the probabilities for each part step by step. ### Total Cards in a Deck A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. ### (i) Probability of getting a king of red colour 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There are 2 red kings in a deck (King of Hearts and King of Diamonds). 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{King of red}) = \frac{\text{Number of red kings}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26} \] ### (ii) Probability of getting a face card 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There are 12 face cards in total (3 face cards: Jack, Queen, King from each of the 4 suits). 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{Face card}) = \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13} \] ### (iii) Probability of getting a red face card 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There are 6 red face cards (2 face cards from each of the 2 red suits: Hearts and Diamonds). 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{Red face card}) = \frac{6}{52} = \frac{3}{26} \] ### (iv) Probability of getting the jack of hearts 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There is only 1 Jack of Hearts in the deck. 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{Jack of Hearts}) = \frac{1}{52} \] ### (v) Probability of getting a spade 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There are 13 spades in the deck. 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{Spade}) = \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### (vi) Probability of getting the queen of diamonds 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: There is only 1 Queen of Diamonds in the deck. 2. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{Queen of Diamonds}) = \frac{1}{52} \] ### Summary of Probabilities - (i) Probability of getting a king of red colour: \(\frac{1}{26}\) - (ii) Probability of getting a face card: \(\frac{3}{13}\) - (iii) Probability of getting a red face card: \(\frac{3}{26}\) - (iv) Probability of getting the jack of hearts: \(\frac{1}{52}\) - (v) Probability of getting a spade: \(\frac{1}{4}\) - (vi) Probability of getting the queen of diamonds: \(\frac{1}{52}\)
