Probability Formula

$\mathsf{P(E)}=\frac{\color{#e65021}{\mathsf{favourable\:outcomes}}}{\color{#007DDC}{\mathsf{total\:outcomes}}}$

Addition Principle

If two or more events are joined by OR, their probabilities should be added.

$(a)$ Find the probability of drawing from a standard deck of cards and getting a Hearts card.

favourable outcomes

$=$ $13$ (a standard deck has

$13$ Hearts cards)

total outcomes

$=$ $52$ (a standard deck has

$52$ cards)

$\mathsf{P(Hearts)}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#e65021}{\mathsf{favourable\:outcomes}}}{\color{#007DDC}{\mathsf{total\:outcomes}}}$	Probability Formula

	$=$	$\frac{\color{#e65021}{13}}{\color{#007DDC}{52}}$	Substitute values

	$=$	$\frac{1}{4}$

$(b)$ Find the probability of drawing from a standard deck of cards and getting a Black card.

favourable outcomes

$=$ $26$ (a standard deck has

$13$ Spades and

$13$ Clubs cards)

total outcomes

$=$ $52$ (a standard deck has

$52$ cards)

$\mathsf{P(Black)}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#e65021}{\mathsf{favourable\:outcomes}}}{\color{#007DDC}{\mathsf{total\:outcomes}}}$	Probability Formula

	$=$	$\frac{\color{#e65021}{26}}{\color{#007DDC}{52}}$	Substitute values

	$=$	$\frac{1}{2}$

$(a) 1/4$

$(b) 1/2$
