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. What is the probability that the card is a club?
Solution
Total number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49
Let E3 = Event of getting a club
n(E3) = (13 – 3) = 10
∴ Required probability = `(n(E_3))/(n(S)) = 10/49`
