Question

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack 52 cards.Find the probabilily of getting:
a) a red kings
b)a queen or a jack​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards in a pack = 52

(i) Let E1 = Event of getting a red king

Number of red king = 2

Hence, probability of getting a red king,

P(E1) = 2 / 52 = 1 / 26

(ii) Let E2 = Event of getting a queen or a jack ,

Number of queen and jack = 4 + 4 = 8

Hence, probability of getting a queen or a jack ,

P(E2) = 8 / 52 = 2 / 13

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

total outcome=52

red king=2

a)so p(a red king)=2/26

=1/26

b) p (a queen or jack)=8/52

=2/13
