A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting:(vii) a black face card

(viii) a black card

(vii) Let E be the event of getting a black face card.

There will be 6 black face cards.

Number of favourable outcomes = 6

P(E) = 6/52 = 3/26

Hence the probability of getting a black face card is 3/26.

(viii) Let E be the event of getting a black card.

There will be 26 black cards.

Number of favourable outcomes = 26

P(E) = 26/52 = 1/2

Hence the probability of getting a black card is ½.
