Question

The King, Queen and Jack of the suit spade are removed from a deck of 52 cards. One card is selected from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting a spade

Sum

Solution

Total number of cards = 52

3 cards are removed

Remaining number of cards = 52 – 3 = 49

n(S) = 49

Let C be the event of getting a spade card.

n(C) = (13 – 3) = 10

P(C) = `("n"("C"))/("n"("S")) = 10/49`
