Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the answers:

1. 1/13

2. 12/13

3. 23/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes : 52

Probability

$= \frac{number \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{total \: outcomes}$

1. Favourable outcomes = A= 4

therefore,

P(A) = 4/52 =1/13

2. Favourable outcomes =B = 52-4 = 48

Therefore,

P(B) = 48/52 =12/13

3. Favourable outcomes= C= 52-8 =46

Therefore,

P(C) = 46/52 =23/26
