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 queen

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52

3 cards are removed

Remaining number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49

n(S) = 49

Let B be the event of getting a queen card.

n(B) = (4 – 1) = 3

P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S")) = 3/49`
