Answer:
black and 13 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 26 black and 26 red cards.
So probability of drawing a red card will be 1/2 and black card will be 1/2.
But according to the question,
P (red) =2/3 and p (black) =1/3.
Here we can clearly understand that black cards are missing as they are less in number when compared to Red.
So red cards will be same i.e 26.
Let x be The number of cards in the new set. ( after the missing cards).
So, p (red)=26/x. ----------------------- 1
But, p (red)=2/3. (Given in the question) -----2
From The above two equations ,
26/x=2/3
x=26×3/2
x=13×3=39.
So there are 39 cards in the new set.
Remaining cards =52−39=13.
So, 13 black cards are missing.
