Step-by-step explanation:

There are 26 red cards in a pack of playing cards.

So,

Probability of picking a red card =Number of red cards/Total number of cards

We plug in what we know


\begin{gathered} =\text{ }(26)/(52) \\ =(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the probability of picking a red card is 1/2.

There is only one Queen of hearts in a deck of cards. So,

Probability of picking a Queen of hearts = Number of Queen of Hearts/ Total number of cards


=(1)/(52)

Therefore, the probability of picking a

Queen of hearts is 1/52.

There are 13 cards that are clubs. So,

Probability of picking a club = Number of Clubs/ Total number of cards


\begin{gathered} =\text{ }(13)/(52) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the probability of picking a club is 1/4.

There are 4 cards that are 5, 6, and 7. This gives a total of 12 cards. So,

The probability of picking 5,6, or 7 = 12/52 = 3/13

Therefore, the probability of picking 5,6, or 7 is 3/13.
