the formula used is:

p(A or B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A and B)

p(A and B) means the probability of both A and B occurring at the same time.

you have 52 cards in the deck.

26 of the cards are red (either diamonds or hearts).

There are 12 face cards in the deck.

They are:

4 Kings
4 Queens
4 Jacks

6 of the face cards are red (diamonds or hearts) and 6 of the face cards are black (spaces or clubs).

let A be the event that you have a red card.

Since there are 26 red cards in the deck, then p(A) = 26/52.

let B be the event that you have a face card.

Since there are 12 face cards in the deck, then p(B) = 12/52.

let A and B be the event that you have cards that are both red and face cards.

Since there are 6 red face cards in the deck, then p(A and B) = 6/52.

p(A) + p(B) - p(A and B) is therefore equal to 26/52 + 12/52 - 6/52 = 32/52.

the probability that you will have a red card or a face card is equal to 32/52.

Why did we subtract the cards that are red and face cards at the same time?

Because, if we didn't, they would be double counted.

They would be counted as red cards and they would be counted again as face cards.

Since they are the same card, we needed to remove the double counting which is why we subtracted the number of cards that were both red and face cards at the same time.


Probability of drawing a red face card out of#52# cards is#3/26#

Explanation:

There are #6# red face cards in total cards of #52#.
So probability of drawing a red face card out of #52# cards is #6/52=3/26#[Ans]

Solution

Probability of drawing a red face card from a deck of cardProbability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The probability formula is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of outcomes and the total number of outcomes.Probability of event to happen P(E) = NumberoffavourableoutcomesTotalNumberofoutcomes.There are 52 cards in a deck of playing cards. If a card is drawn from this well-shuffled deck, the total number of all possible outcomes is 52i.e. n(S)=52 Let A be the event of drawing a red face card.Number of face cards in the deck is 12Number of red face cards in the deck is A=6Then, the number of possible outcomes of event A be n(A)=6 P(A)=NumberoffavourableoutcomesoftheeventATotalnumberofpossibleoutcomes⇒P(A)=n(A )n(S)⇒P(A)=652⇒P(A) =326Hence, the probability of drawing a red face card from a deck of cards is 3/26.

There are 26 red cards so the probability of drawing a red card is 26/52

There are 12 face cards (jack,queen,king of each suit) so the probability of drawing one is 12/52

There are 6 face cards that are red so the probability of drawing one is 6/52

The probability of drawing a red card or a face card is 26/52 + 12/52 - 6/52 = 32/52 = 8/13

What is the probability of drawing a face card?

The probability of drawing a face card is 12/52. However, three of the clubs are also face cards, so there are only 22 of the 52 cards that are either clubs or face cards.

What is the probability of drawing a heart or a red card in a standard deck of 52 cards?

1 Expert Answer The probability that you draw a red card is 26/52 or 1/2, since half the cards in the deck are red. Since you replace the card, the probabiity that you draw a heart is 13/52 or 1/4, since a quarter of the cards are hearts.
