Question

There is a pack of 52 cards. Ram removes the queen of hearts and the jack of spades from this pack. Ram now picks a card at random from this reduced pack. What is the probability that Ram picks is a Jack card?

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.06
• C. 0.03
• D. 0.07

Answer 1

The correct option is B

0.06

The initial total number of cards is 52. Out of these 2 cards are removed. Hence, total number of cards is 50.

The initial number of Jack cards is 4. Now since one Jack is removed, there are 3 Jack cards left.

The number of favourable outcomes = Number of Jack cards left to be picked = 3

Total number of outcomes = Total number of cards = 50

$\text{Probability P(E)}$ = $\frac{\text{Number of outcomes favorable to E}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment}}$

Here, the event E is Getting a Jack card.
$\text{Hence, P(Jack card)}=\frac{3}{50}=0.06$
