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
There are 6 red face cards. These are removed.
Thus, remaining number of cards = 52 − 6 = 46.
Number of card of clubs = 12.
∴ P(getting a card of clubs) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 12/46 = 6/23`
Thus, the probability that the drawn card is a card of clubs is `6/23`.

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`
