All the face cards of spades are removed from a pack of 52 playing cards and then the pack is shuffled well. A card is then drawn at random from the remaining pack of cards. Find the probability of getting (i) a black face card, (ii) a queen.

Total cards = 52
Three face cards of spades are removed.
P (Black face card) =
P(Queen) = .
(as total black face cards are now 3, instead of 6 and total queens are 3 instead of 4)

All the three face cards of spades are removed from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. A card is then drawn at random from the remaining pack. Find the probability of getting:
a black face card
Total number of cards =52
3 face card of spades are removed
Remaining =52-3=49= number of possible outcomes
n(s)=49
Number of black face cards left = 3 face cards of club
Event of drawing a black face cards =E=3
n(E)=3
Probability of drawing a black face card = `(n(E))/(n(s))=3/49`
Concept: Type of Event - Complementry
