  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) an jake

    There are 4 jake(s) in a deck of cards.

    So, 4/52 = 1/13 is the answer.

    (b) an ace of spade

    There is only one, so

    1/52 is the answer.

    (c) a queen

    There are 4 queens.

    So, 4/52 = 1/13 is the answer.

    (d) a heart

    There are 13 hearts in a deck of cards.

    13/52 = 1/4 is the answer.

    (e) a red card

    There are 2 pairs- A heart and a diamond.

    So, they are 13 each in total.

    13×2 = 26

    So, 26/52 = 1/2 is the required answer.

    (f) a card of club

    There are 13 cards of clubs.

    So, 13/52 = 1/4 is the required answer.

    (g) a ‘9’ of heart

    There is one and only 9 of heart.

    So, 1/52 is the answer.

    (h) a black king

    There are Spades and Clubs in black, having 1 king each.

    So, 1×2 = 2 kings in total

    So, 2/52 = 1/26 is the required answer.

    (I) a non face card

    There are 10 non face cards (3 in jake, king and queen)

    So, there are 4 categories:- Spade, Heart, Club, Diamond.

    So, 4×10 = 40 cards.

    So, 40/52 = 10/26 = 5/13 is the required answer.

    (j) a black king or red queen

    There are 2 black categories :- Spade and Club, so, 2 kings. There are 2 red categories – Heart and Diamond, having 2 queens (1 in each).

    So, 2+2=4

    4/56 = 1/13 is the required answer [tex].[/tex]

  2. Answer:

    Given :-

    [tex]\mapsto[/tex] A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards.

    To Find :-

    [tex]\mapsto[/tex] What is the probability of :

    • An jake
    • An ace of spade
    • A queen
    • A heart
    • A red card
    • A card of club
    • A ‘9’ of heart
    • A black king
    • A non face card
    • A black king or red queen

    Formula Used :-

    [tex]\clubsuit[/tex] Probability Formula :

    [tex]\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{Number\: of\: favorable\: outcomes}{Total\: number\: of\: possible\: outcomes}}}}\\[/tex]

    Solution :-

    [tex]\mapsto[/tex] A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards :

    (a) An jake :

    As we know that :

    [tex]\bigstar[/tex] 4 jacks contain in a deck of cards.

    Given :

    • Number of favorable outcomes = 4
    • Total number of possible outcomes = 52

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{52}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies\sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{26}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf\bold{\red{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{13}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rule{150}{2}[/tex]

    (b) An ace of spade :

    As we know that :

    [tex]\bigstar[/tex] 1 ace of spade contain in a deck of cards.

    Given :

    • Number of favorable outcomes = 1
    • Total number of possible outcomes = 52

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{52}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf\bold{\red{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{52}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rule{150}{2}[/tex]

    (c) A queen :

    As we know that :

    [tex]\bigstar[/tex] 4 queen contain in a deck of cards.

    Given :

    • Number of favorable outcomes = 4
    • Total number of possible outcomes = 52

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\implies\sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{52}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{26}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf\bold{\red{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{13}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rule{150}{2}[/tex]

    (d) A heart :

    As we know that :

    [tex]\bigstar[/tex] 13 heart contain in a deck of cards.

    Given :

    • Number of favorable outcomes = 13
    • Total number of possible outcomes = 52

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{13}}{\cancel{52}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf\bold{\red{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{4}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rule{150}{2}[/tex]

    (e) A red heart :

    As we know that :

    [tex]\bigstar[/tex] There are 26 red heart.

    [tex]\leadsto[/tex] Heart = 13

    [tex]\leadsto[/tex] Diamond = 13

    Given :

    • Number of favorable outcomes = 26
    • Total number of possible outcomes = 52

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{26}}{\cancel{52}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{\cancel{13}}{\cancel{26}}[/tex]

    [tex]\implies \sf\bold{\red{Probability (P) =\: \dfrac{1}{2}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rule{150}{2}[/tex]

    (f) A card of club :
