Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A single card is drawn from a standard deck of cards.

To find: P(queen | black)

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of any event.

Use the formula: P(A | B) = P(A∩B) ÷ P(B)

Let A denotes the event that the card drawn is queen.

Let B denotes the event that the card drawn is black.

Total number of cards = 52

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total number of possible outcomes

P(queen ∩ black) = P(card drawn is black and queen)

= [tex]\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}[/tex]

P(black) [tex]=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore,

P(queen | black) = P(queen ∩ black) ÷ P(black)

= [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{26} }{\frac{1}{2} }=\frac{2}{26}=\frac{1}{13}[/tex]
