Question

What is the probability that a card drawn randomly from a standard deck of 52 cards is a red four?

a) 1/26
b) 1/13
c) 1/52
d) 1/104

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a red four from a standard deck of 52 cards is 1/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing a red four from a standard deck of 52 cards can be calculated as follows:

There are two red fours in the deck, one from the hearts suit and one from the diamonds suit. This means there are a total of 2 red fours in the deck.

The probability of drawing a red four is equal to the number of red fours divided by the total number of cards in the deck:

Probability = Number of red fours / Total number of cards

Probability = 2 / 52

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

Probability = 1/26
