Question

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of drawing an ace given that it is diamond.4/521/132/134/13

Answer 1

Solution:

The probability of an event is expressed as

$P(event)=\frac{number\text{ of desired outcome}}{number\text{ of possible outcome}}$

In a pack of 52 cards, we have

$\begin{gathered} number\text{ of diamonds=13} \\ number\text{ of ace= 1} \end{gathered}$

Thus, we have the probability to be evaluated as

$P(ace)=\frac{1}{13}$
