Question
The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well shuffled. Now one card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Determine the probability that the card is a king.
Solution
If we remove one king, one queen and one jack of clubs from 52 cards, then the remaining cards left, n(S) = 49
Let E2 = Event of getting a king
∴ n(E2) = 3 ...[Since, out of 4 king, one club cards is already removed]
∴ `P(E_2) = (n(E_2))/(n(S)) = 3/49`
