Question

Cards were drawn from a regular deck of 52 for a 100 times, replacing it each time after drawing. The data about the number is as follows.

$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Number}& \text{Frequency}\\ A& 10\\ 2& 8\\ 3& 5\\ 4& 6\\ 5& 8\\ 6& 5\\ 7& 10\\ 8& 11\\ 9& 8\\ 10& 7\\ J& 6\\ Q& 7\\ K& 9\end{array}$$

Concept: [1 Mark]
Solution: [0.5Mark each]

Number of times a face card was drawn = $10+6+7+9=32$
Probability of drawing a face card = $\frac{32}{100}=0.32$
Number of times a number card with a prime number on it was drawn = $8+5+8+10=31$
Probability of drawing a number card with a prime number = $\frac{31}{100}=0.31$
