Question

All cards of ace, jack and queen are removed from a deck of playing cards. One card is drawn at random from the remaining cards, find the probability that the card drawn is (a) face card (b) not a face card

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four face cards ace, jack, queen and king each has 4 different variety (spade, diamond, heart and club);

In a deck there are total 52 cards;

Out of this 12 cards are removed (ace, jack, queen);

Total remaining cards = 52-12 = 40;

Out of 40 cards there are 4 kings (face card) and rest 36 are number cards;

Probability = expected outcome/ possible outcomes;

a) Probability of face card = 4/40 = 1/10;

b) Probability of no face card = 36/40 = 9/10 [1-1/10 = 10-1/10 = 9/10]

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) p(face card)=4/40=1/10

(b) p(face card)=36/40=9/10
