Question

From a well shuffled pack of playing cards, black jack, black kings and black aces are removed. A card is then drawn from the pack. Find the probability of getting. (i) a red card (ii) not a diamond card.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) 13/23 (2) 33/46

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards in a deck = 52

Total number of cards removed = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 black cards

Total number of cards left = 52 - 6 = 46

Find the probability of getting a red card:

Number of red card = 26

P(red card) = 26/46 = 13/23

Find the probability that it is not a diamond card:

Number of diamond card = 13

P(diamond card) = 13/46

p(not a diamond card) = 1 - 13/46 = 33/46

 

Answer: (1) 13/23 (2) 33/46
