Question
The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and the remaining cards are shuffled. A card is drawn from the remaining cards. Find the
probability of getting a card of clubs.
Solution
Total no. of remaining cards = 52 – 3 = 49
E ⟶ event of getting clubs
No. of favorable outcomes = 10 (13 – 3) {Since 3 club cards are removed}
Probability, P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"'Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) = 10/49
