Question

The King, Queen and Jack of the suit spade are removed from a deck of 52 cards. One card is selected from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting a diamond

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52

3 cards are removed

Remaining number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49

n(S) = 49

Let A be the event of getting a diamond card.

n(A) = 13

P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 13/49`
