Question

Your friends shuffle the cards and then deal them. Select probability of getting a red card. Select probability of getting a spade card.

Answer 1

1/2 ; 1/4

Explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

Number of spades = 13

Probability of event A :

P(A) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P( red card) = number of red cards / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

P(spade) = number of spades / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4
