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.

A) 2/3 B) 1/2
C) 1/52 D) 13/51
 
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.
