Q:
One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn find the probability the card drawn is red.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 1/2
Explanation: We know that:
When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards
The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52
We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards
⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26
Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S)
∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
