Question

A card is selected from a standard deck of 52 cards. What are the odds of selecting a red 9?

a) 1:26
b) 1:52
c) 1:13
d) 1:2​

Answer 1

1:25

Explanation:

total cards = 52

probability of getting a red 9 = 2/52

probability of not getting a red 9 = 1 - 2/52 = 50/52

odds of selecting a red 9 = 2/52 / 50/52

= 2/52 * 52/50

= 2/50 = 1/25

= 1:25
