Answers
Conditional probability
P(A|B) is defined as
P(A|B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)
Hence:
P(face card | queen)
=P(face card ∩ queen)/P(queen)
=P(queen)/P(queen)
=1
P(three|not a face card)
=P(three ∩ not a face card)/P(not a face card)
=(4/52)/(40/52)
=1/10
P(A|B) is defined as
P(A|B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)
Hence:
P(face card | queen)
=P(face card ∩ queen)/P(queen)
=P(queen)/P(queen)
=1
P(three|not a face card)
=P(three ∩ not a face card)/P(not a face card)
=(4/52)/(40/52)
=1/10
