Question

If a card is drawn from a pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a red card:

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ Cards of diamonds and hearts are red cards.

Number of diamonds = $13$

Number of hearts = $13$

Therefore, total number of red card out of $52$ cards = $13$ + $13$ = $26$

Therefore, probability of getting $‘aredcar{d}^{\prime }$

$P\left(H\right)$=$\frac{Numberoffavourableoutcomes}{Totalnumberofpossibleoutcomes}$

= $\frac{26}{52}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$
