Question

Red kings, queens and jacks are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well-shuffled. A card is drawn from thgxe fining cards. Find the probability of getting (i) King (ii) a red card (iii) a spade.

Answer 1

Hey mate!!

here's your answer...

If red kings, queens and jacks are removed from deck of 52 cards, then n(S)=46

(i) Let A be the favorable outcomes of getting a king, then n(A)=2

  P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

          = 2/46

          = 1/23

(ii) Let B the favorable outcomes of getting a red card, then n(B)=20

    P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

           = 20/46

           = 10/23

(iii) Let c be the favorable outcomes of getting a spade, then n(C)=13

    P(C) = n(C)/n(S)

           = 13/46

           = 1/2

Hope it helped you...  

Answer 2

Answer:

total cards =52

remaining cards = 52-6=46

(i) P ( getting a king ) = 2/46 = 1/23

(ii) P ( getting a red card ) = 20/46 = 10/23

(iii) P ( getting a spade ) = 13/46
