Question

All red face cards are removed from a pack of playing cards. The remaining cards are well shuffled and then a card is drawn at random from them. Find the probability that the drawn card is  a red card  

Answer 1

In a pack of 52 playing cards, there are 2 red jacks, 2 red queens and 2 red kings. 
All the red face cards are removed from the pack. Then,
Number of remaining cards = 52 − 6 = 46
∴ Total number of outcomes = 46 

Number of red cards in the remaining pack of cards = 26 − 6 = 20
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 20.
∴ P(drawing a red card) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{20}{46} = \frac{10}{23}\]
