1. 1/52
2. 1/26
3. 3/52
4. 4/13
5. 7/52

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3/52

CONCEPT:

For 'and' multiplication function is applied.

FORMULA USED:

P = Favorable outcomes/Total outcomes

CALCULATION:

Total outcomes in a dice = 6

P (odd number) = 3/6 = 1/2

Black face cards in a deck = 6

P (black face card) = 6/52 = 

Required P = 1/2 × 6/52 = 3/52

∴ The probability is 3/52.
