Question 48

Jambmaths question: 

A card is picked at random from a pack of 52 well shuffled playing cards. Find the probability of NOT picking a red cards in the pack. If there are 13 red card in the pack

Option A: 

$\tfrac{3}{4}$

Option B: 

$\tfrac{2}{3}$

Option C: 

$\tfrac{1}{3}$

Option D: 

$\tfrac{1}{4}$

Jamb Maths Solution: 

There are 52 cards in a pack of cards. The probability of NOT picking red card is the probability of picking other cards. Which is $Prob({{R}^{1}})=1-\frac{13}{52}=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$
