Question

What is the probability of selecting a red card from a standard deck of 52 playing cardships that does not contain a joker?

Answer 1

1/2. half of the cards(26 out of 52) are red. you can reduce 26/52 to 1/2.

Answer 2

We know that the deck of cards contain half red and half black cards or you can say we have 26 red cards and 26 black cards.
we have to find probability of red cards from a deck of cards
so,
probability (selecting red card) =
`(26)/(52)`
=
`(1)/(2)`

Probability ( selecting red card ) =
`(1)/(2)` Answer
