Question

A magician showed a magic trick where he picked one card from a standard deck. What is the probability that the card will be a red face card?.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

with jokers or without jokers ?

a standard deck without jokers has 52 cards.

but a standard deck usually includes 2 jokers, and that is 54 cards.

so, there are 2 different possible answers.

the red face cards are Jack, Queen and King of hearts and diamonds.

so, 6 cards of the whole standard deck.

the probabilty is always

desired events / total events = 6/52 = 3/26 for a deck without jokers. and 6/54 = 3/27 = 1/9 for a deck with jokers.
