Question

2) If a card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, find the probability of the following events: (i) Event A : not getting a black card. (ii) Event B : getting a card bearing numbers from 2 to 5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Well Hope you got the answer

There are 52 cards in a pack

∴ n (S) = 52

(i) Let A be event that the card drawn a black card

Total no. of black cards = 26

∴ n (A) = 26

P (A) = n (A)/n (S)

∴ P (A) = 26/52

∴ P (A) = ½

(ii) Let B be the event that the card drawn is not a black card

Total no. of red cards = 26

∴ n (B) = 26

P (B) = n (B)/n (S)

∴ P (B) = 26/52

∴ P (B) = ½

(iii)Let C be the event that card drawn bears number between 2 and 5 including 2 and 5

No. of cards between 2 and 5 including 2 and 5 is 4.

∴ There are 4 types of cards

∴ The total no. of cards between 2 and 5 including 2 and 5 is 4 × 4 = 16

n (C) = 16

P (C) = n (C)/n (S)

∴ P (C) = 16/52

∴ P (C) = 4/13
