A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the probability of drawing
(i) a face card
(ii) a red face card
Total outcomes = 52
Red face card = 6
P(red face card ) = 6/52 = 3/26
A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the probability of drawing a red face card.
A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the probability of drawing a red face card.
Random drawing of cards ensures equally likely outcomes
(i) Number of face cards (King, Queen and jack of each suits) = 4 × 3 = 12
Total number of cards in deck = 52
∴Total number of possible outcomes = 52
P (drawing a face card) = 13/525 = 3/13
(ii) Number of red face cards = 2 × 3 = 6
Number of favourable outcomes of drawing red face card = 6
P (drawing of red face red) = 6/52 = 3/26
