a card of red colour.
Marking-scheme solution
Remaining cards \(\displaystyle =52-8=44\)
(i) \(\displaystyle \mathrm{P}(\) a face card \(\displaystyle )=\frac{8}{44}\) or \(\displaystyle \frac{2}{11}\)
(ii)
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{P}\) (a card of red colour) \(\displaystyle =\frac{22}{44}\) or \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\)
