1. A card is drawn from an ordinary deck. Find these probabilities.

a. Of getting a jack
b. Of getting the 6 of clubs

Answer:
a. Refer to the sample space in Figure 4–2. There are 4 jacks so there are 4
outcomes in event E and 52 possible outcomes in the sample space. Hence,
4 1
P(jack)= =
52 13
b. Since there is only one 6 of clubs in event E, the probability of getting a 6 of
1
clubs is P(6 of clubs) =
52
2. Find the complement of each event.
a. Rolling a die and getting a 4
b. Selecting a month and getting a month that begins with a J
