Given: The Kings, Queens, Aces and Jacks of red color are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and the remaining cards are shuffled and a card is drawn at random from the remaining cards
TO FIND: Probability of getting a card of
(i) A black queen
(ii) A red card
(iii) A black jack
(iv) A picture card
After removing the kings, queens, aces and the jacks of red color from the pack of 52 playing cards
Total number of cards left:
(i) Cards which are black queen is 2
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a black queen =
(ii) Cards which are red are from 2 suits
Total number of red cards is
From this the kings, queens, aces and jacks of red color are taken out.
Hence total number of red cards left is
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a red card is
(iii) Cards which are black jack are from 2 suits
Total number of black jack is
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a black jack card
(iv) Cards which are picture cared are from 4 suits
Total number of picture cards is
From this the kings, queens, and jacks of red color are taken out.
Hence total number of picture card left is
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting an picture card =
