(a) Not a diamond card.
(b) A red card.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a 40÷52

b26÷52

Answer 2

Answer: 0.75 , 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards - 52

Total outcomes - 52

No. Of diamond cards - 13

Favourable outcomes - 13

P( of getting a diamond card ) = favourable outcomes/ total outcomes

= 13/52

= 1/4 = 0.25

P ( of not getting a diamond card ) =

1 - P ( of getting a diamond card )

= 1 - 25

= 0.75

No. Of red cards = 26

Fav outcomes = 26

P ( card is red ) = 26/52 = 1/2 = 0.5
