(v) a king or a queen
(vi) a non-face card
A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting:
(v) a king or a queen
(vi) a non-face card

(v) Let E be the event of getting a king or a queen.

There will be 4 cards of king and 4 cards of queen.

Number of favourable outcomes = 4+4 = 8

P(E) = 8/52 = 2/13

Hence the probability of getting a king or a queen is 2/13.

(vi) Let E be the event of getting a non face card.

There will be 40 non face cards.

Number of favourable outcomes = 40

P(E) = 40/52 = 10/13

Hence the probability of getting a non face card is 10/13.
