Question

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of $52$ playing cards. Find the probability of each event. The card drawn is
i) a red card
ii) a face card

Answer 1

total cards $=52$

Probability of Red Card $=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of face card $=\frac{{}^{12}{C}_1}{{}^{52}{C}_1}=\frac{12}{52}$

$=\frac{6}{26}=\frac{3}{13}$
