The odds in favour of drawing a king from a pack of 52 playing cards is
- A 1:12
- B 4:1
- C 12:1
- D 1:4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1:12
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B)
Probability of drawing a king \(=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}\)
\(\therefore\) Probability of NOT drawing a king \(=\frac{12}{13}\)
Hence odds is favour of drawing a king \(=1: 12\).
Probability of drawing a king \(=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}\)
\(\therefore\) Probability of NOT drawing a king \(=\frac{12}{13}\)
Hence odds is favour of drawing a king \(=1: 12\).
