Question

Q 2. Using a standard deck of cards (which has 26 red cards and 26 black cards, with 13 cards of

every suit), what is the probability of selecting a red card, and then after replacing the card, selecting a
heart card?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

First Pick P(red card) = 26/52 = 1/2

Second Pick after replacement P(heart) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(red on first pick and heart on second pick

= 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
