Question

How do you find the probability of getting a red face card in a deck of 52 cards?

Answer 1

`("Number of accepted possibilities")/("Total possibilities")=26/52=1/2`

Explanation:

There are 4 suits in a pack of cards, 2 of which are red. Each suit has 13 cards, so there are `2*13=26` red cards total. Now there are 52 cards in total, `P("Red face card")=("Number of red face cards")/("Number of cards total")=26/52=1/2`.
