Question

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 a heart.

Answer 1

If we remove one king, one queen and one jack of clubs from 52 cards, then the remaining cards left, n(S) = 49

Let E₁ = Event of getting a heart

∴ n(E₁) = 13

∴ `P(E_1) = (n(E_1))/(n(S)) = 13/49`
