Question

black aces and black queens are removed from a pack of 52 cards. remaining cards are reshuffled and then a card is drawn. find the probability of getting (I) a black card (ii) an ace
​

Answer 1

Answer: Probability of getting a black card is 11/24

Probability of getting an ace is 1/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of black aces are 2, black queens are 2

Remaining no.of cards =52-black aces-black queens

=52-2-2=48

Total no.of black cards before are 26

Total no.of black cards now are 26-4=22

4 is subtracted because 4 Black cards are removed.

Probability of getting black card= Left over black cards/ remaining number of total cards

=22/48=11/24

Total no.of aces before removing were 4

Left over aces=4-2=2

2 is subtracted because 2 aces are removed.

Probability of getting an ace = Left over aces/Remaining cards

=2/48=1/24
