Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

1)

a) The probability of a black facecard is 0.1154.

Number of black facecards = 6

Total number of cards = 52

The probability of a black facecard = 6/52 = 0.1154

b) The probability of non face card of black color is 0.3846.

Number of non facecards of black colors = 26 - 6 = 20

Total number of cards = 52

The probability of a black facecard = 20/52 = 0.3846.

c) The probability that you get neither a heart nor a red king is 0.731.

Number of cards that are neither a heart nor a red king = 52 - 13 - 1 = 38

Total number of cards = 52

The probability that you get neither a heart nor a red king = 38/52 = 0.731
