A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen.

Given: a card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards


To find: the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen


Explanation: In a well shuffled deck of 52 cards


There are 13 + 13 = 26 red cards


And 4 queens, but out of these 2 queens are red in color


Hence the numbers of cards which are red cards, or a queen are 26 + 2 = 28 cards, so out of these 28 cards a card is drawn.


So, the probability of getting either a red card or a queen is


P (getting either a red card or a queen)





So, probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen is


1 - P (getting either a red card or a queen)





Hence the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen is .
