Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a red face card.

Answer 1

Total number of outcomes = 52

Let E₃ be the event of getting a red face card.

Number of favourable outcomes = 6

∴ P(getting a red face card) = P(E₃) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_3)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`6/52 = 3/26`

Thus, the probability of getting a red face card is `3/26`.
