Question

Suppose one card is drawn at random from a standard deck.Answer each part. Write your answers as fractions in simplest form

Answer 1

(a) In a standard deck, half of the cards are red cards and the other half are black cards. Thus;

`P(red\text{ }card)=(1)/(2)`

(b)

`\begin{gathered} P(king)=(n(king))/(total) \\ \\ P(king)=(4)/(52) \\ \\ P(king)=(1)/(13) \end{gathered}`

(c)
