Question

Three cards are drawn out. Find the probability of getting one ace, one jack and one king.

Answer 1

Total outcomes = 52

Number of ace in a deck = 4

Probability of getting an ace = possible outcome/(total outcome)

= 4/52

= 1/13

∴ Probability of getting an ace = (1/13)

now,

Number of kings in a deck = 4 and Number of jacks in a deck = 4

Probability of getting a jack = (4/52) = (1/13)

∴ Probability of getting a jack = (1/13)

and,

Probability of getting a king = (4/52) = (1/13)

= 1/13

∴ Probability of getting a king = (1/13)
