Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. What is the probability of drawing a red face card?

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{7}{13}$
• C. $\frac{8}{13}$
• D. $\frac{3}{26}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{3}{26}$

Cards of hearts and diamonds are red cards.

Number of face card in hearts = 3

Number of face card in diamonds = 3

Total number of red face card out of 52 cards = 3 + 3 = 6

Hence the probability of drawing a red face card = $\frac{6}{52}=\frac{3}{26}$
