Question

Consider a standard deck of 52 playing cards with 4 suits. If A is the event of drawing a 6 from the deck, and B is the event of drawing a black playing card from the deck, what is the intersection of A and B? (Remember that the black cards are spades and clubs.)

Answer 1

Answer: Intersection of A and B = 2

Explanation:

Total cards = 52

Let A is the event of drawing a 6 from the deck, and B is the event of drawing a black playing card from the deck.

Total cards having 6 on them = 4

[There are 4 suits of two different colors red and black.]

Total black playing card =26

Intersection of A and B = Black cards having 6 = 2

hence, Intersection of A and B = 2
