Q4 of 47 Page 1

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

No of red cards in a deck of cards = 26


No of queens in black cards in a deck = 2


No of cards that are neither red nor a queen = 52 - 26 - 2 = 24


 



P = 24/52 = 6/13
