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
(i) a heart
(ii) a king
(i) Answer. [13/49]
Solution. Probability; Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one
Total cards = 52 – 3 ( three cards are removed)
= 49
Total hearts = 13
Favourable cases = 13
Probability =
Probability of getting a heart =
(ii) Answer. [3/49]
Solution. Probability; Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one
Total cards = 52 – 3 ( three cards are removed)
= 49
Total king = 4 – 1 = 3 ( 1 king is removed)
favourable cases = 3
probability =
Probability of getting a King=
