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 cards in a well-shuffled deck = 52
Since, cards of diamond and heart are red
∴ There are 2 kings, 2 queens, 2 jacks
Total number of red face cards = 6
P (getting a red face card) =`"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`
= `6/52`
= `3/26`
