Question

A card is drawn from a standard deck of

cards. Find each probability. a) P[club)
b) Pſred card)
c) P(not a heart)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total number of outcomes = 52 , since each deck consists of 52 cards

probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

a) Number of favorable outcomes = Number of club cards = 13

P(club) =13/52 = 1/4

b) Number of favorable outcomes = Number of red cards = 26

P(red card) = 26/52 = 1/2

c) Number of favorable outcomes = Number of cards that are not hearts = 39/52 = 3/4
