Question

A deck for Number Skat consists of the cards in a regular Poker deck, but all Jacks, Queens and Kings are taken out. Consider the random experiment of drawing one card from a well-shuffled deck for Number Skat. What is the size of the sample space? Consider the event E of drawing an Ace, a Two or a Three, all black, from a well-shuffled deck for Number Skat (spades and clubs are black; hearts and diamonds are red). How many outcomes are there in event E? What is the probability of E? What is the probability of not drawing a black card which is an Ace, a Two or a Three?

Explanation / Answer

A)52-4-4-4=40

B)E=ace+two+three=2+2+2=6

C)P(E)=6/40=0.15

D)1-P(E)=1-.15=0.85
