Question

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

Answer 1

Total number of possible outcomes = 52

Let E be the event of getting neither a red card nor a queen

$\therefore$ Number of favourable outcomes = $52-28=24$

P(getting neither a red card nor a queen) =$P\left(E\right)=\frac{24}{52}=\frac{6}{13}$
