Question

There is all 52 cards in a standard deck. Suppose one card is drawn at random from a standard deck. What is the probability that the card drawn is a red card and a two?

Answer 1

There are 26 red cards in a standard deck (13 hearts and 13 diamonds), and out of those, there are 2 red twos (Two of Hearts and Two of Diamonds).

To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a red two) by the number of possible outcomes (drawing any card from the deck).

Therefore, the probability of drawing a red card and a two from a standard deck is:

Probability = (Number of red twos) / (Total number of cards)

Probability = 2 / 52

Simplifying the fraction, we have:

Probability = 1 / 26

So, the probability of drawing a red card and a two from a standard deck is 1/26.

Answer 2

There are TWO red two's out of 52 cards ( 2 of hearts, 2 of diamonds)

2/52 = 1/26 = .038
