Question -

In shutting a pack of 52 playing cards, four are accidently dropped; find the chance that the missing cards should be one from each suit



Answer -

Given: A pack of 52cards from which 4 are dropped.

By using the formula,

P (E) = favourableoutcomes / total possible outcomes

We now have to findthe probability that the missing cards should be one from each suit

We know that, fromwell shuffled pack of cards, 4 cards missed out total possible outcomes are

n (S) = 52C=270725

Let E be the eventthat four missing cards are from each suite

n (E) = 13C1×13C1×13C1×13C=134

P (E) = n (E) / n (S)

= 134 /270725

= 2197/20825
