From a pack of $52$ cards, all aces and all kings are removed. A card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Find the probability that the card so drawn is (i) a face card. (ii) a card of red colour.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Remaining cards = $52 - 8 = 44$
(i) $P(\text{a face card}) = \frac{8}{44}$ or $\frac{2}{11}$
(ii) $P(\text{a card of red colour}) = \frac{22}{44}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$
