Question

The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of$52$ playing cards. remaining cards are shuffled. A card is drawn from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting a card of a King.

Answer 1

Step 1 : Find the probability of getting a card of a king.

Here, King, queen and jack of club are removed from the Deck of $52$ playing cards.

So remaining cards in deck $=52-3=49$

Total number of outcomes $=49$

We know that there are $4$ Kings in a deck.

After removing a king of club we left with $3$ kings.

Let$E_2=$ event of getting a king Number of favorable outcomes to$2=3$

Required probability$P(E_2)=3/49$

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{3}{49}$.
