Question:

A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a black king?

(a) $\frac{1}{13}$

(b) $\frac{1}{26}$

(c) $\frac{2}{39}$

(d) none of these

 

Solution:

(b) $\frac{1}{26}$

Explanation:
Total number of all possible outcomes = 52
Number of  black kings = 2

$\therefore P($ getting a black king $)=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
