Extra Questions for Practice/Model Questions
Answer the following:

  1. One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Calculate the probability that the card will
    a) Neither a jack nor an ace
    b) Red king
    c) A queen or a jack
    d) Face card
    e) Queen of diamonds
    f) Black queen
    g) Ace and black
    h) Neither an ace nor a king
    i) Neither a red card nor a black king
    j) Jack of hearts
    k) A spade
    Solution:
    a) The number of possible outcomes = 52
    The number of favourable outcomes = 44
    Probability (getting neither a jack nor an ace) = 44/52 = 11/13
    b) Probability (getting a red king) = 2/52 = 1/26
    c) Probability (getting a queen or a jack) = 4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52 = 2/13
    d) Probability (getting a face card) = 12/52 = 3/13
    e) Probability (getting a queen of diamonds) = 1/52
    f) Probability (getting a black queen) = 2/52 = 1/26
    g) Probability (getting an ace and black) = 2/52 = 1/26
    h) Probability (getting neither an ace nor a king) = 44/52 = 11/13
    i) Probability (getting neither a red card nor a black king) = 24/52 = 6/13
    j) Probability (getting a jack of hearts) = 1/52
    k) Probability (getting a spade) = 13/52 = ¼
  2. The probability of an event of a random experiment lies in between ———–
    Solution: 0 and 1
  3. One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting
    a) 2 of spades
    b) 10 of a black suit
    Solution:
    a) Number of favourable outcomes = 1
    Probability (getting 2 of spades) = 1/52
    b) Number of favourable outcomes = 2
    Probability (getting 10 of a black suit) = 2/52 = 1/26
  4. A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 4?
    Solution:
    Numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6.
    So number of favourable outcomes = 2
    The number of possible outcomes = 6
    Probability (getting a number greater than 4) = 2/6 = 1/3
  5. If P (E) = 0.07, what is the probability of ‘not E’?
    Solution:
    We know that P (E) + P (not E) = 1
    P (not E) = 1- P (E) = 1 – 0.07 = 0.93
