n(S) = 52
Event A : Card drawn is a red card.
. Total red cards
52
hearts + 13 diamonds.
n(A)
formula
p(A) =
n(S)
P(A)
26
52
p(A) =​

Answer 1

Answer:

A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52cards. In that 26cards are red cards and remaining 26cards are black cards. Total outcomes are 52. possible outcomes are 26. ( since the card drawn is red card ) Probability = possible outcomes/ totaloutcomes. i.e Probability = 26/52 = 1/2. Hence the probability of the event is 1/2. Hope this helps you.
