Question

what is the probability of selecting a red king from a deck of cards​

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting a red king is 1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :-

Total no. of cards in the deck of playing cards

= 52

Total no. of possible outcomes = 52

Total no. of red king cards in the deck of cards = 2 ...( Hearts king, Diamond king)

No. of favourable outcomes = 2

We know that

Probability of an event P(E) = No. of favourable outcomes to E / Total no. of possible outcomes

Let getting a red king is an event K then

Probability of getting a red king P(K) =

No. of favourable outcomes to Red king /

Total no. of possible outcomes

=>P(K) = 2/52

=>P(K) = 1/26

The probability of getting a red king is 1/26
