Expert Answer
There are three possible events
(1) Both the lost cards are spade . Let this event be E1 . probability of this event , p( E1 ) = (13/52) (12/51)
(2) one lost card is spade and other one is not spade. Let this event be E2 . Probability of this event,
p( E2 ) = (13/52) (39/51) + (39/52) (13/51) = (26×39) / (52 × 51 )
(3) both the lost cards are not spade. Let this event be E3 . probability of this event, p(E3 ) = (39/52) (38/51)
probability of getting spade from 50 cards , when both lost cards are spade , p(S/E1 ) = 11/50
probability of getting spade from 50 cards , when one lost card is spade and other one is not a spade, p(S/E2 ) = 12/50
probability of getting spade from 50 cards , when both lost cards are not spade , p(S/E3 ) = 13/50
If spade is selected from 50 cards after two cards were lost,
then the probability that two lost cards are spade is p(E1 / S ) and it is obtained by applying Bayes theorem
