What is the probability that the card is a club if 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

Solution:

Given, the king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well shuffled.

We have to determine the probability of drawing a club.

A deck of 52 playing cards has 13 cards of heart, 13 cards of diamond, 13 cards of spade and 13 cards of club.

King, queen and jack of clubs are removed.

So, remaining cards = 52 - 3 = 49

We have to find the probability of drawing a club.

There are 13 cards of club.

King, queen and jack are removed.

Remaining cards = 13 - 3 = 10

Favourable outcomes = 10 cards of club

Number of favourable outcomes = 10

Number of possible outcomes = 49

Probability = number of favourable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

Probability = 10/49

Therefore, the probability of drawing a club is 10/49.

✦ Try This: 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 diamond.
