Expert Solution

Total number of cards = 52

a) Number of cards less than or equal to 3 ( i.e. {2,3} in 4 different suits) = 2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 8

Number of cards above 3 = 52 - 8 = 44

The probability that the selected card is above a 3

b) Number of cards above or equal a queen (i.e.{queen, king, ace} in 4 different suits) = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Number of cards below a queen = 52 - 12 = 40

The probability that the selected card is below a queen

c) Number of cards above a 3 and below a queen (i.e. {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J} in 4 different suits) = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32

The probability that the selected card is both above a 3 and below a queen

d) The probability that the selected card is either above a 3 or below a queen
