A card is selected from a deck of 52 cards. The probability of its being a red face card is
a. 3/26
b. 3/13
c. 2/13
d. 1/2

Solution:

Probability defines the likelihood of occurrence of an event. There are many real-life situations in which we may have to predict the outcome of an event.

It is given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52

We know that there are 12 face cards

6 red i.e. 3 hearts and 3 diamonds

6 black i.e. 3 spade and 3 club

So the probability of getting a red face card = 6/52 = 3/26

Therefore, the probability of it being a red face card is 3/26.
