Question

The probability of drawing a king from a pack of 52 cards is:

• A. \( \frac{1}{13} \)
• B. \( \pi \)
• C. \( e \)
• D. \( 1 \)

Hint:

To calculate basic probabilities in card problems: - Always remember a standard deck has 52 cards. - There are 4 suits and 13 cards per suit. - Use the formula: \( \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} \)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, there are 4 kings (one from each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). Step 2: Probability is calculated as: \[ P(\text{drawing a king}) = \frac{\text{Number of kings}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13} \] Final Answer: \( \boxed{\frac{1}{13}} \)
