There is total 12 face cards in a deck, but 6 red face cards are already removed. Number of favorable outcomes = n(E) = drawing neither red nor a face card from deck. Number of favorable outcomes = n(E) = drawing a red and ace card from deck = 2 (There are 26 red cards in which 2 are ace cards)Īccording to question drawn card should be red and ace both. (ii) Here, E is event of drawing a red and ace card Probability of drawing a king or a black card = 7 / 13 Number of favorable outcomes = n(E) = drawing a king or a black card from deck = 26 + 2 = 28 (There are 26 black cards in which 2 are king and remaining 2 kings of black in 1 deck)

Total number of outcomes in a deck n(S) = 52

(i) Here, E is event of drawing a king or a black card Problem 2: What is the probability of drawing the following cards from a deck of cards? Probability of drawing a number card = 9 / 13 Number of favorable outcomes = n(E) = drawing a number card from deck = 36 (There are 36 number cards in 1 deck)

Steps to find the probability of events involving cards are the same as all the other probabilities, that are given as follows: Some of the common events in card probabilities are discussed in the following table: The following chart represents the classification of the deck of playing cards: (36 cards in a deck and 9 cards in a suit) (12 cards in a deck and 3 cards in each suit) Thus there are a total of 12 face cards.Īll these classifications can be seen in the following table. There are three cards of each suit i.e., Jack, Queen, King. Face Cardsįace cards as the name suggests, contain a figure or face of the figure on the card. Number Cardsįrom 2 to 10, there are 9 cards per suit, thus there is a total of 36 such cards. This card “A” written on it and each suit has one of such card i.e., four ace cards. Other than these there is one more classification of cards, based on the rank of cards:Īce is one such card which either is the most important or least important based on the game. There are four suits in the deck of cards that are: Role of Mahatma Gandhi in Freedom Struggle.
