प्रश्न
A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a red card.
उत्तर
Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52
n(S) = 52
Number of red cards (hearts + diamonds) = 26
E = event of drawing a red card
n(E) = 26
Probability of drawing a red card = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 26/52 = 1/2`

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.
Solution:
Suppose ‘S’ is sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ p(A) = `square/("n"("s"))` ....formula
∴ p(A) = `26/52`
∴ p(A) = `square`
