Correct Answer – Option 1 : 1/2
Given:
Total number of cards is 52
Formula used:
P (E) = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
Calculation:
Let E is a probability of an event.
Total number of cards = 52
There are 26 red cards in each suit.
So, number of favorable outcomes = 26
⇒ P (E) = 26/52
⇒ 1/2
∴ The required probability is 1/2
