Question

2. What is the probability of selecting a red card from a standard deck of cards

Answer 1

In a standard deck of cards we have 52 cards, and half of which are red, half are black.

so the half of 52 is

`(52)/(2)=26`

so the probability is

`(26)/(52)=(13)/(26)=(1)/(2)`

the probability is 1/2
