Question

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.

Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 52

Event A: Card drawn is a red card.

∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds

∴ n(A) = `square`

∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))`   ...[Formula]

P(A) = `26/52`

P(A) = `square`

Answer 1

Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 52

Event A: Card drawn is a red card.

∴ Total red cards = \[\boxed{13}\] hearts + 13 diamonds

∴ n(A) = \[\boxed{26}\]

∴ P(A) = \[\frac{\boxed{\text{n(A)}}}{\text{n(S)}}\]   ...[Formula]

P(A) = `26/52`

P(A) = \[\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}\]
