14.Probability
easy

One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. If each outcome is equally likely, calculate the probability that the card will be not a black card.

A

$\frac{1}{2}$

B

$\frac{1}{2}$

C

$\frac{1}{2}$

D

$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

When a card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards, the number of possible outcomes is $52$

The event 'card drawn is not a black card' may be denoted as $C'$ or 'not $C'$.

We know that $P$ (not $C$ ) $=1- P ( C )=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, probability of not a black card $=\frac{1}{2}$
