What is the probability of a red card or a face card in a standard deck of cards?
A face card is generally assumed to be one depicting a person (namely the Jack, Queen and King). Thus each suit has 3 face cards. There are 26 cards in a deck that are red. Of the black cards, there would be 6 face cards (JQK of clubs, JQK of spades). All together that is 32 cards that are either red, or face cards out of 52 cards in a deck. Another way to count this is to count the red cards (26) and the total number of face cards (4 x 3 = 12). But then subtract the cards that are both red and face cards (6). 26 + 12 - 6 = 32 Fortunately you get the same answer either way. P(red card or face card) = 32/52 = 8/13 = 0.61538 Alternate method: P(red card or face card) = P(red card) + P(face card) - P(red card and face card) = 26/52 + 12/52 - 1/2 * 12/52 = 32/52 = 8/13 = 0.61538 Answer: Approximately 61.5%
From a deck of 52 cards, find the probability of selecting a red ace or a black jack?
There are two red aces (diamond, heart) and two black jacks (spade, club) in a deck of 52. Therefore, the chance of randomly selecting a card and having it be either the ace of diamonds, the ace of hearts, the jack of spades, or the jack of clubs is P = 4/52 = 0.0769.
A card is selected at random from a standard deck of 52 cards.?
its pretty easy.... the first card has a 1:2 ratio of being red... same with the second card... the chane are this with both cards possibilities 1. R-R R-B B-R B-B r=red b=black.... Therefore the probablity of u getting two red cards is 1 in 4 2. There are 6 black face cards out of 52 can you chosoe one of them... Therefore you have a 6 in 52 chance of choosing a black face card Your Welcome
Given the standard deck of cards, what is the probability of drawing a red card, given that it is a face card?
There are 52 cards in a standard deck. Half of the cards are red (2 suits of 13 each). Of each suit, 3 cards are face cards. So you have a 6 in 52 probability of drawing a red face card.
What is the probability of selecting an ace or a red card from a standard deck of cards?
4/52+26/52 Oops. I counted two aces twice (the ace of diamonds and the ace of hearts). 2/52+26/52=7/13
What is the probability of selecting a red card or an ace from a standard deck of cards?
How many cards are in a standard deck? (Hint: 52)How many of these are red? (Hint: 52/2)How many of these are aces? (Hint: 4)How many of these are red aces (so they’ve been counted twice in the above, and need to be subtracted out)?Divide the total number of successful results by the total number of possible results to obtain the desired probability.
What is the probability of selecting a black card or a 6 from a deck of 52 cards?
Number of total cards = 52Number of black cards = 26 ( These will include 2 cards with number 6 - those of Spades and Clubs)So, 2 more number 6 cards will be left ( Those of Hearts and Diamonds)Therefore, the probability of drawing a black card or a 6= (26+2)/52 = 28/52 = 7/13.
A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards, find the probability of drawing .?
In a deck there a 52 cards with 4 suits(hearts,spades,diamonds and clovers). 2 suits are red while the other 2 are black. And there are 4 cards for each number.(ace,jack.queen etc.)And remember an ace isnt considered a face card. 1) there are 2 red kings in any given deck so probability is 2/52=1/26 2)since there are 4 cards of each you multiply 4*3=12 probability is 12/52=3/13 3)I have no idea what a fade is. 4)Remember that there are 4 suits? Each suit has 13 cards. So as there are 2 suits probability is 13*2/52=26/52=1/2 5)There are 26 black cards,and they contain 6 face cards. And there are 26 red cards which contain only 2 red aces. so add both 8/52=2/13 6)In a deck there are 12 face cards (king, queen, and jack) and 13 cards of spades 3 face cards are already in spades so subtract 3. (9+13)/52=22/52=11/26
What is the probability of getting a red face card or an ace in a deck of cards?
A standard deck of cards has a total of 52 cards.Number of Ace cards = 4Number of face cards = 12 ( 4 Jacks + 4 Queens + 4 Kings)Out of these, number of red face cards = 6So, the probability of getting a red face card or an Ace = (4+6)/52 = 10/52 = 5/26The first column is of Ace cards and the last 3 columns show the 12 Face cards.
