A die is thrown and a card is selected at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. The probability of getting an even number on the die and a spade card is

Let A be Event for getting number on dice

And, B be Event that a spade card is selected


A={2,4,6}


B={13}


Since, P(A)=


P(B)


We know, If E and F are two independent events then, P(AՌB)=P(A).P(B)


P(A ∩ B)=


Hence, P(E1∩ E2)=
