Question
Fill in the boxes:
Sunita choose a card from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Total number of cards, S = `square`
Let E be the event that the choosen card is a queen.
Number of queens = `square`
Thus, P(E) = `"Number of queens"/"Total number of cards" = square/square = square`
Solution
Sunita choose a card from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Total number of cards, S = 52
Let E be the event that the choosen card is a queen.
Number of queens = 4
Thus, P(E) = `"Number of queens"/"Total number of cards"`
= `bb4/bb52`
= `bb1/bb13`
