Question

One card is to be drawn from a deck of 52 cards.The deck includes four types of cards.Red heart, red stars , black triangles , black circles .Each type has 13 cards numbered 1-13.What is the probability of drawing a red one a, black three , or a six of hearts.Give your answer in the simplify form .

Answer 1

1/26 ; 1/26 ; 1/52

Explanation:

Given the following :

A deck of 52 cards contains :

Red hearts, Red stars, black triangles, black circles

Each type of card is numbered from 1 - 13

Therefore,

Number of each type of card = 13, all numbered distinctly with digits between 1 - 13

Probability = (number of required outcomes / total number of possible outcomes)

If one card is drawn from the deck:

Probability of picking a red one :

This is either a red heart numbered 1 or a red red star numbered 1,

Therefore, Required outcomes = 2

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a red one) = 2 / 52 = 1/26

B) A black three

This is either a black triangle numbered 1 or a black heart numbered 1,

Therefore, Required outcome = 2

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a black three) = 2 / 52 = 1/26

C.) A six of hearts :

A hearts numbered six = 1

Therefore, Required outcome = 1

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a black three) = 1 / 52 = 1/52
