Question

The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 cards and then wellshuffled.
One card is selected from the remaining set. Find the probability of getting
(A) a heart
(B) a king
(C) a black queen

Answer 1

given total no. of cards = 52
no. of cards removed = 3
remaining cards = 52 - 3 = 49
1. a heart
 fav outcomes = 13
p( heart ) = favourable out comes / total outcomes
              = 13/49
2.a king
no. of fav outcomes = 3
p( king) = favourable outcomes/total outcomes
             = 3/49
3. a black queen
fav outcomes = 1
p( black queen) = favourable outcomes/ total outcomes
                       = 1/49
