Probability

Question:

A die is thrown and a card is selected at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. The probability of getting an even number on the die and a spade card is-

Options:

1/8

1/2

1/4

3/4

Correct Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

Let E= Event  for getting an even number on the die

and F = Event that a spade card is selected

so P(E) = 3/6 = 1/2  and P(F) = 13/52 = 1/4

Then, P(E∩F) = P(E). P(F) = (1/2). (1/4) = 1/8
