Question

All the black face cards are removed from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a,

(i) face card

(ii) red card

(iii) black card

(iv) king

Answer 1

Since all the black face cards are removed, the total number of remaining cards 52 - 6 = 46

(i) P(face card) = 6/46 = 3/23

(ii) P(red card) = 26/46 = 13/23

(iii) P(black card) = 20/46 = 10/23

(iv) P(king card) = 2/46 = 1/23
