Question

Question 28(ii)
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 king?

Answer 1

If we remove one king, one queen and one jack of clubs from 52 cards, then the remaining cards left, n(S) = 49
$n\left(E_2\right)=3$ [since, out of 4 king, one club cards is already removed]
$\therefore P\left(E_2\right)=\frac{n\left(E_2\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{3}{49}$
