Question

In a deck of cards, what is P(An even red card)
A) 1/2
B) 1/4
C) 1/13
D) 1/26

Answer 1

In a deck of cards, the probability of drawing an even red card is 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards total. Among them, there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards. Out of the red cards, half of them are even numbered (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

So the number of even red cards is 26/2 = 13.

P(An even red card) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 13 / 52 = 1/4.

Therefore, the correct answer is

B) 1/4.
