Question

given a standard deck of 52 cards what is the probability of drawing a face card of any suit or a red 6 a 4/13 b 1/4 c 3/13 d 7/26

Answer 1

7/26

Explanation:

52 cards

Jacks , queens, kings are face cards =

3 per suit *4 suits = 12 cards

2 red sixes = 2

P (red 6 or face cards ) = red 6 or face cards / total

= (12+2) / 52

= 14/52

= 7/26

Answer 2

Choice D 7/26

Explanation:

So first let's count how many face cards there are. We have a Jack, a Queen, and a King in all of the 4 sets of cards. This knowledge tells us that we have 12 face cards out of the 52 cards. Then, we have 2 red sixes in the game. These come from the 6 of hearts and the 6 of diamonds. This makes the new total of the cards we want to draw 12+2=14. Then we now have the fraction 14/52. After simplifying we get the answer 7/26 is our probability (choice D)
