Question

A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards total that contains 13 of each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades). What is the probability that the card you draw will be RED?

Question 2 options:

A 1/52

B 1/13

C 1/2

D 1/4

Answer 1

C 1/2

Explanation:

There are 4 suits, 2 suits are red (hearts and diamonds) while 2 are black (clubs and spades)

Since 13 cards are in each suit, 26 cards are red ( 2 * 13)

There are 52 total cards

P (red) = red cards/ total cards

= 26 / 52

= 1/2
