Rahim takes out all the hearts from the cards. What is the probability of picking out an ace from the remaining pack.

Step 1: Analyse the given question and find the total number of possibilities.
NOTE: Total number of deck of playing cards = 52 cards.
4 suites of 13 cards each = 4 * 13 = 52
4 suits are Spade(black), Hearts(red),Diamonds(red) and Clubs (black)
Each suites are ace,king,queen,jack,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2
Kings , queens and jacks are called face card.
Here, Rahim removes all the hearts from the cards
There are 13 hearts cards.
Therefore total possibilities are 52 - 13 = 39
Step 2: Calculate the probability of picking out an ace from the remaining pack
NOTE: There are 3 ace cards in the remaining suites
So, the favourable outcomes = 3
The probability of picking out an ace from the remaining pack
= P(A) = \frac{3}{39} = \frac{1}{13}
The probability of picking out an ace from the remaining pack = \frac{1}{13}
