Answer:


\sf (1)/(26)

Explanation:

Probability:

There are 52 cards in a deck. So, total number of outcomes is 52. Getting a red queen is the favorable outcome. There are 13 + 13 = 26 red cards. In these 26 red cards, there are 2 red queens; one is heart and another is diamond. So, favorable outcome is 2

Total number of outcomes = 52

Number of favorable outcomes = 2


\sf P(card \ is \ a \ red \ queen) = (number \ of \ favorable \ outcomes)/(number \ of \ outcomes)


\sf = (2)/(52)=(1)/(26)

Answer:


\bf (1)/(26)
