Question
A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is:
neither a heart nor a king
Advertisements
Solution
This means that we have to leave the hearts and the kings out. There are 13 hearts and 3 kings (other than that of hearts). Hence, the probability of drawing neither a heart nor a king is: (52-13-3)/52 = 9/13
