Question

one card is randomly picked up from a pack of playing cards what is the probability that the picked card is black in color​

Answer 1

Answer:

probability that the picked card is black in color​

Step-by-step explanation:

A = number of black cards

B = number of picture cards (or face cards)

C = number of black picture cards

There are 26 black cards (spades and clubs), so A = 26.

There are 3 picture cards (Jack, Queen, King) in each suit. There are 4 suits (clubs, hearts, spades, diamonds). So there are 3*4 = 12 picture cards. This means B = 12

There are 2 suits which are black (spades and clubs) with 3 face cards per suit, so 2*3 = 6 cards which are both black cards and face cards. So C = 6

D = A+B-C

D = 26+12-6

D = 32

So there are 32 cards that are either black cards or a face card, or both
