Question

Question 7: What is the probability of drawing the complement of a king or a queen from a standard deck of

playing cards? (3 marks)

Answer 1

The probability will be "0.8462". The more clarification is provided follows.

Explanation:

K = King

Q = Queen

As we know, there are four Kings and four Queens in a pack of 52 cards.

∴
`4+4=8` (King and Queen)

So that the probability will be:

⇒
`P((K\cup Q)^8)=1-P(K\cup Q)`

⇒
`=1-(8)/(52)`

⇒
`=0.8462`

So that the above will be the right answer.
