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. What is the probability that the card is a club?

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49

Let E₃ = Event of getting a club

n(E₃) = (13 – 3) = 10

∴ Required probability = `(n(E_3))/(n(S)) = 10/49`
