From a pack of 52 cards, a card is chosen at random. Find the probability that the chosen card is :
(i) A black king.
(ii) Neither a heart nor a king.

A

`{:(""(i),(ii)),(1/26,7/13):}`

B

`{:(""(i),(ii)),(1/13,9/13):}`

C

`{:(""(i),(ii)),(1/13,7/13):}`

D

`{:(""(i),(ii)),(1/26,9/13):}`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probabilities for two scenarios involving a standard deck of 52 playing cards. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) Probability of drawing a black king:** 1. **Identify the total number of cards in the deck:** - A standard deck has 52 cards. 2. **Identify the number of black kings in the deck:** - There are 2 black kings in a deck: the King of Spades and the King of Clubs. 3. **Calculate the probability:** - The probability \( P(E1) \) of drawing a black king is given by the formula: \[ P(E1) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{2}{52} \] 4. **Simplify the fraction:** - Simplifying \( \frac{2}{52} \) gives: \[ P(E1) = \frac{1}{26} \] **(ii) Probability of drawing a card that is neither a heart nor a king:** 1. **Identify the total number of cards in the deck:** - Again, there are 52 cards in total. 2. **Identify the number of hearts and kings:** - There are 13 hearts in the deck. - There are 4 kings in total (1 king in each suit). 3. **Count the overlapping card (the King of Hearts):** - The King of Hearts is counted in both the hearts and the kings. Therefore, we need to adjust for this overlap. - Total cards that are either hearts or kings: \[ 13 \text{ (hearts)} + 4 \text{ (kings)} - 1 \text{ (King of Hearts)} = 16 \] 4. **Calculate the number of cards that are neither hearts nor kings:** - The number of cards that are neither hearts nor kings is: \[ 52 - 16 = 36 \] 5. **Calculate the probability:** - The probability \( P(E2) \) of drawing a card that is neither a heart nor a king is: \[ P(E2) = \frac{36}{52} \] 6. **Simplify the fraction:** - Simplifying \( \frac{36}{52} \) gives: \[ P(E2) = \frac{9}{13} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Probability of drawing a black king: \( \frac{1}{26} \) - (ii) Probability of drawing a card that is neither a heart nor a king: \( \frac{9}{13} \)
