Question

2. What is the probability of selecting a red card from a standard deck of cards

Answer 1

In a standard deck of cards we have 52 cards, and half of which are red, half are black.

so the half of 52 is

$\frac{52}{2}=26$

so the probability is

$\frac{26}{52}=\frac{13}{26}=\frac{1}{2}$

the probability is 1/2
