Draw one card from a standard deck. Find P(black and a 10)
A
17/52
B
2/13
C
4/13
D
1/26
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of getting black card and a 10 when a card is drawn from a deck is 4 / 13.

Detailed explanation-2: -The probability of drawing a black face card from a deck of 52 is 1/2.

Detailed explanation-3: -In certain probability experiments, such as drawing a card from a deck, there is an outcome set with 52 possibilities. An event such as “drawing a black 10” is then part of that outcome set (there are four 10s, of which two are black).

Detailed explanation-4: -The probability of both outcomes is equal i.e. 50% or 1/2. So, the probability of an event is Favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes. It is denoted with the parenthesis i.e. P(Event). What is Sample Space?
