Question 28(i)
The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well shuffled. Now, one card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Determine the probability that the card is a heart

Answer 1

If we removes one king, one one queen and one jack of clubs from 52 cards, then the remaining card left, n(S) = 49
Let $E_1$= Event of getting a heart
$n\left(E_1\right)=13$
$\therefore P\left(E_1\right)=\frac{n\left(E_1\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{13}{49}$
