Answer to Problem 17E
The probability that the card drawn from a deck of 52 playing cards is a red face card is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards.
Formula used:
The probability of an event is the ratio of number of possible outcomes of an event E denoted by
Calculation:
Consider that acard is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards.
In a deck of cards there are 12 face cards.
There are 4 suits and each suit has 3 face cards.
There are 2 red suits. So, 6 red face cards.
Recall that the probability of an event is the ratio of number of possible outcomes of an event E denoted by
Denote the event E as drawn card is a red face card. Sample space is 52.
So,
Probability that a card drawn from a deck of 52 playing card is a red face card is
Thus, the probability that the card drawn from a deck of 52 playing cards is not a face card is
