Question

A card is drawn from a deck of 52. Find the probability that: Use card charta. The card is a 3 or a jack (4 suits in a deck)ME or 1?b. the card is a red card or a 5ME or 1?

Answer 1

a.

We have a total of 4 three cards and 4 jack cards, this means that we have 8 favorable outcomes out of 52, hence we have that:

`P=(8)/(52)=(2)/(13)`

Therefore the probability is 2/13.

b.

We have a total of 26 red cards and two more black fives, this means that we have a total of 28 favorable outcomes, hence:

`P=(28)/(58)=(7)/(13)`

Therefore the probability is 7/13
