Question

Red queens and black jacks are removed from a pack of 52 playing cards. A card is drawn at random from the remaining cards after reshuffling them. Find the probability that the drawn card is a) a king b) red colour c) face card

Answer 1

Answer:

Total no. of cards in pack = 52

52After removing red queens (2), and black jacks (2)

(2)No. of cards = 52 − 4 = 48

→ No. of kings = 4

Let, e be the event of getting a king from pack

be the event of getting a king from packWe know that , Probability P (E) =

(Total no.of possible outcomes)

(No.of favorable outcomes)

48÷4= 12/1

→ No. of red colour = 26 − 2 = 24 ( 2 red queen cards already drawn )

Let, e be the event of getting a red colour from pack

We know that , Probability P (E) =

(Total no.of possible outcomes)

(Total no.of possible outcomes) (No.of favorable outcomes)

= 48÷24 = 2/1
