Question

A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the drawn card is neither a king nor a queen.

Answer 1

Favourable outcomes = 52 − 4kings − 4queens = 44

Total outcomes = 52

`P (E)= "Number of outcomes favourable to E"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`=44/52`

`= 11/13`

Thus, the probability that the drawn card is neither a king nor a queen is `11/13`.
