Answer -
From the question it is given that, there are 52 cards inthe deck.
(a) Number of points in the sample space = 52 (given)
∴n(S) = 52
(b) Let us assume ‘A’ be the event of drawing an ace ofspades.
A= 1
Then, n (A) = 1
P(Event) = Number of outcomes favorable to event/ Totalnumber of possible outcomes
∴P(A) = n(A)/n(S)
= 1/52
(c) Let us assume ‘B’ be the event of drawing an ace. Thereare four aces.
Then, n (B)= 4
P(Event) = Number of outcomes favorable to event/ Totalnumber of possible outcomes
∴P(B) = n(B)/n(S)
= 4/52
= 1/13
(d) Let us assume ‘C’ be the event of drawing a black card.There are 26 black cards.
Then, n (C) = 26
P(Event) = Number of outcomes favorable to event/ Totalnumber of possible outcomes
∴P(C) = n(C)/n(S)
= 26/52
= ½
