Question

A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of getting (i) neither a red card nor a queen (ii) a face card or a spade card.

Answer 1

Answer:

i) 24/52       ii)22/52

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:6/13 and 11/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of cards =52

(1)no of red cards=26

No of queen cards = 4 of which 2 are red so 4-2=2

Probability of drawing a card that is neither red nor a queen =52-(26+2)/52

52-28/52

24/52=6/13

(2)no of spade card in a deck = 13

No of face card in a deck =12 of which 3 are spade-face card

Probability of drawing a face or a spade card =

13+(12-3)/52

13+9/52

22/52=11/26
