Question

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card is neither a spade nor a jack?

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay, So neither a spade nor a jack.

Total no. of cards in adeck =52  

Number of spades =13  

Total number of non-spades out of  52  cards  =52−13=39  

Number of jack out of 52  cards =4  

Number of jack in each of three suits namely hearts, diamonds and clubs =  3  

[Since, 1 jack is already included in the 13 spades so, here we will take number of jacks is  3 ]

Neither a spade nor a jack  =39−3=36  cards in total.

Therefore, probability of getting ‘neither a spade nor a jack’=
