Question

Five cards-the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds, are well-shuffled with their face downwards. One card is then picked up at random.
(i) What is the probability that the card is the queen?
(ii) If the queen is drawn and put aside, what is the probability that the second card picked up is (a) an ace? (b) a queen?

Answer 1

There are 5 cards-
10,jack,queen,king and ace of diamond

so
●●i=>probability of getting queen=1/5

(ii)=>a=1/4(because only 4 cards left after queen removal)
b=0 (because queen already putted aside)

Answer 2

I)=probability of getting queen=1/5
ll) a=1/4 because only 4 cards are left b=0
