(A) In the experiment of selecting a card at random from a well-shuffled pack of $52$ cards,the total number of elementary outcomes is $52$.Let event $C$ be the event that the selected card is of a black suit.$A$ pack of $52$ cards contains two black suits: Spades ($13$ cards) and Clubs ($13$ cards).Therefore,the number of outcomes favourable to event $C$ is $13 + 13 = 26$.The probability of event $C$ is given by $P(C) = \frac{	ext{Number of favourable outcomes}}{	ext{Total number of outcomes}}$.$P(C) = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}$.Thus,the probability that the selected card is of a black suit is $1/2$.

$A$ card is selected at random from a well-shuffled pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability that the selected card is of a black suit.
