Question

The king and queen of diamonds, queen and jack of hearts, jack and king of spades 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 clavor

Answer 1

King diamond + Queen diamonds = 1 + 1 = 2  ...(1)

Queen hearts + Jack of hearts = 1 + 1 = 2  ...(2)

Jack spade + King of spades = 1 + 1 = 2   ...(3)

Remaining number of cards = 52 – (6)

n(S) = 46

Let A be the event of getting a clavor

n(A) = 13

P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 13/36`
