Question
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`
Solution
Suppose ‘S’ is sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = 13 hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = 26
∴ p(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("s"))` ....formula
∴ p(A) = `26/52`
∴ p(A) = `1/2`
