Question
All red face cards are removed from a pack of playing cards. The remaining cards are well shuffled and then a card is drawn at random from them. Find the probability that the drawn card is a card of clubs.
Solution
In a pack of 52 playing cards, there are 2 red jacks, 2 red queens and 2 red kings.
All the red face cards are removed from the pack. Then,
Number of remaining cards = 52 − 6 = 46
∴ Total number of outcomes = 46
There are 13 cards of club in the remaining pack of cards.
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 13.
∴ P(drawing a card of club) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{13}{46}\]

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the card drawn is:
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
Activity: 'S' is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square` ......(formula)
∴ P(A) = `square/52`
∴ P(A) = `square/13`
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
∴ n(B) = `square`
P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))`
∴ P(B) = `square/4`
