A card is drawn one at a time from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. In 11 repetitions of this experiment, 1 king is drawn. If E is the event in which a king is drawn in the 11 trials, find the experimental probability P(E).

Recall that the experimental probability is given by


P(E)=\frac{outcomes\text{ of interest}}{total\text{ outcomes}}

For the given case, the outcome of interest is the event in which a king is drawn.

So, the outcome of interest is 1.

The total number of outcomes is 11 trials.

The experimental probability is


P(E)=(1)/(11)

Therefore, the experimental probability of drawing a
