Answer:
The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Let 'S' be the sample space associated with the drawing of a card
n (S) = 52C₁ = 52
Let E₁ be the event of the card drawn being a king
Let E₂ be the event of the card drawn being a queen
But E₁ and E₂ are mutually exclusive events
since E₁ U E₂ is the event of drawing a king or a queen
<u><em>step(ii):-</em></u>
The probability of drawing of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards
P( E₁ U E₂ ) = P(E₁) +P(E₂)
P( E₁ U E₂ ) =
<u><em>step(iii):-</em></u>
The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards
<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:-
The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846
