Answers (1)

best_answer

Total number of cards in a well-shuffled deck = 52

Hence, total possible outcomes = 52

(1) Let E be the event of getting a king of red colour.

There are only red colour kings: Hearts and diamonds

Hence, number of favourable outcomes = 2

\therefore P(E) = \frac{favourable\ outcomes}{total\ outcomes} = \frac{2}{52}

= \frac{1}{26}

Therefore, the probability of getting a king of red colour is  \frac{1}{26}
