Question

All kings and queens are removed from a pack of 52 cards. The remaining cards are well-shuffled and then a card is randomly drawn from it. Find the probability that this card is red and a queen.

Answer 1

Given: Total cards = 52 Cards removed = 4 Kings + 4 Queens = 8 cards

\[ \text{Remaining cards, } n(S) = 52 - 8 = 44 \]

Red and a queen: No queens remain in the deck.

Number of favourable cards = 0

\[ P(\text{red and a queen}) = \dfrac{0}{44} = 0 \]
