Question

a card is drawn at random from a well shuffled Deck of 52 cards find the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen

Answer 1

Total no. of outcomes = 52
Total no. of red cards + total no. of queen = 26 + 2 = 28
Total no. of desired outcomes = 52 - 28 = 24
Probability,
total no. of desired outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
= 24/52
= 6/13
therefore, the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen = 6 / 13
