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 king.

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 E₂ = Event of getting a king

∴ n(E₂) = 3   ...[Since, out of 4 king, one club cards is already removed]

∴ `P(E_2) = (n(E_2))/(n(S)) = 3/49`
