Question

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen

Answer 1

Number of red cards=26
Number of queen cards that are not red=2
Total number of red card or queen card = 26 + 2 = 28,

Number of card which is neither a red card nor a queen = 52 - 28 = 24

Therefore, the probability of getting ‘neither a red card nor a queen’

P(D)= Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcome


= 24/52
= 6/13
