Question

If one card is selected from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, then the probability of getting an ace card is:

• A. \( \frac{4}{52} \)
• B. \( \frac{1}{13} \)
• C. \( \frac{1}{52} \)
• D. \( \frac{4}{13} \)

Hint:

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 4 aces. The probability of drawing one is \( \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 4 aces (one for each suit). The probability of selecting an ace is: \[ P(\text{getting an ace}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13} \] Thus, the probability is \( \frac{1}{13} \).
