Question

The King, Queen and Jack of the suit spade are removed from a deck of 52 cards. One card is selected from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting a heart card bearing the number 5

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52

3 cards are removed

Remaining number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49

n(S) = 49

Let D be the event of getting a 5 of heart card.

n(D) = 1

P(D) = `("n"("D"))/("n"("S")) = 1/49`
