Answer:

(i) 0/7

(ii) 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 playing cards, there are 13 cards of each clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts. From those 13 cards, each group has 1 King, Queen, Jack respectively.

No.of total outcomes = 7

(i) In the entire 52 cards, there will be 4 Kings.

The probability of getting 4 kings in 7 cards can be 4/7.

But since there are only 4 kings (4<7), the probability of getting all kings in 7 cards would be 0/7.
