Q.7 A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability of the following events:
(a) A red card (b) A face card.
Activity:
Let ‘S’ is the sample space \(\therefore\) n(S) = ____
Event A: Card drawn is a red card. Total red cards = ____ \(\therefore\) n(A) = ____
\(\therefore P(A) = \dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) ...... Formula
\(\therefore P(A) = \dfrac{26}{52}\) \(\therefore\) P(A) = ____
Event B: Card drawn is a face card. Total face cards = 12 \(\therefore\) n(B) = ____
\(\therefore P(B) = \dfrac{n(B)}{n(S)}\) ...... Formula
\(\therefore P(B) = \dfrac{12}{52}\) \(\therefore\) P(B) = ____
