One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Then:
(i) the probability that the card will be diamond is 1/2.
(ii) the probability that the card will be an ace of heart is 1/52.
(iii) the probability that the card will not be a card of hearts is 3/4.
(iv) the probability that the card will be a king or queen is 1/26.
Choose correct option from the following:
(3)
It is given that one card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards.
So, the number of possible outcomes = 52
(i) There are 13 cards of diamond in a deck
So, probability of getting a card of diamond = 13/52 = 1/4, statement (i) is not true.
(ii) There is one ace of heart in a deck.
So, probability of getting an ace of heart =1/52, statement (ii) is true.
(iii) There are 39 cards which are not a heart So, probability of not getting a heart = 39/52 = 3/4, statement (iii) is true.
(iv) There are 8 cards which are king or queen. Probability of getting a king or queen = 8/52, 2/13, statement (iv) is not true.
So, options (ii) and (iii) are correct.
