A certain man takes 2
cards from a standard deck of 52 cards.
What will be the
probability of getting a pair of diamonds?
Solution
(This is a problem with
replacement)
n(E) = 13, n(S) = 52
P(E) = n(E)
n(S)
1st pick = 13/52
2nd pick = 13/52 as well.
P(2 diamonds) = 13 x 13
52 52
P(2 diamonds) = 169
= 1
2704 16
Therefore Probability of drawing 2 diamonds
is 1/16
TRY THIS......
