Question
One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a red face card.
Solution
Total number of outcomes = 52
Let E3 be the event of getting a red face card.
Number of favourable outcomes = 6
∴ P(getting a red face card) = P(E3) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_3)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`6/52 = 3/26`
Thus, the probability of getting a red face card is `3/26`.
