Question

(i) The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing
cards and then well-shuffled. One card is drawn at random, find the probability
of getting (1) a king (2) the 10 of hearts.(what is meant by 10 of hearts)​

Answer 1

After removing the King, queen and Jack of clubs from a deck of 52 cards,

Number of total cards left= 52–3= 49

Number of club cards left= 13–3= 10

Number of heart cards=13

So, the probability of getting a heart= 13/49

The probability of getting a club= 10/49

The probability of getting the 10 of hearts= 1/49 ( as there is only 1 card of 10 hearts).

I hope the answer is clear! :)
