Probability of event A is generally written as P(A). Here, P represents the possibility and A represents the event. It states how likely an event is about to happen. The probability of an event can exist only between 0 and 1 where 0 indicates that event is not going to happen i.e. Impossibility and 1 indicates that it is going to happen for sure i.e. Certainty. If not sure about the outcome of an event, take help of the probabilities of certain outcomes, how likely they occur. For a proper understanding of probability, take an example of tossing a coin, there will be two possible outcomes – heads or tails. Formula of Probability
Choosing a Random Card from a Deck of CardsIt is known that a well-shuffled deck has 52 cards, therefore the Total number of cards is 52. All the cards are further divided into suits (4 of them: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) of 13 cards each. And Each suit has 13 cards (A, 2 to10, Jack, Queen, King). So, the total number of outcomes will be 52. Out of 52, King, Queen and Jack (or Knaves) are face cards. Total there are 12 face cards in the deck of 52 playing cards. With the formula of probability we can find the probability of the random card picked from the deck of 52:
Example: What is the probability of having number 2 card picked from the deck of 52 cards? Solution:
