I’ve been looking at the highlighted questions in the attachment for a bit and I still don’t really get how the answers are what they are (e.g for Q19c isn’t it just 1/3?). Any worked solutions or explanations would be very much appreciated! Probability is actually my opp 💀

oh and if it helps it’s from Cambridge Maths Ext 1 Ex 12GIMG_4376.jpeg

I agree with your assessment for 18c). Most likely there is mistake in the textbook if the answer given is 1/5

Correction:

|{JJ, JQ, QJ, KJ, JK}| = 5

|{JJ}|/|{JJ, JQ, QJ, KJ, JK}| = 1/5
