Question

Draw a two-card hand from a well-shuffled standard deck of cards. Given that the first card is a King, what is the chance the second card is NOT a King

Answer 1

P ≈ 0,94

Explanation:

The normal deck of cards consists of 52 cards, (with 4 kings )

If we take a king a deck will have 51 cards ( three kings )

The probability to get a non-king card is

Probability of non-king card (P) = 1 - Probability of getting a king card (P₁)

Probability of getting a king card P₁= 3/51 ≈ 0,059

Then P = 1 - 0,059

P ≈ 0,94
