Question

26. A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of playing cards. Find the
probability of (i) not getting a queen or king (ii) not getting a face card.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i)Total number of possible outcomes =52

Let E be the event that the drawn card is neither a king nor a queen.

Total number of kings and queens =4+4=8

∴, there are 52−8=44 cards that are neither king nor queen.

Total number of favourable outcomes =44

∴ Required probability=P(E)=  

Totalnumberofoutcomes

Favourableoutcomes

​  

=   44/52

​  

=   11/13

ii)Let S be the sample space.

There are 52 playing cards in a pack

∴ n(S)=52

Let A be the event that the card drawn is a king

Total king in pack =4

∴ n(A)=4

∴ P(A)=  

n(A)/n(S)

​  

=  4/52

​  

=  1/13

​  

 Let B be the event that the card drawn is a face card

Total face card in a pack =12

∴ n(B)=12

∴ P(B)=  

nS)(B)/n(S)

​  

=   12/52

​  

=   3/13
