Given:
Randomly select one card from a 52-card deck.
Required:
Find the probability of selecting the card is a red card.
Explanation:
The total number of cards in the deck = 52
The number of red cards in the deck = 26
The probability of an event is given by the formula:
[tex]P=\frac{Number\text{ of possible outcomes}}{Total\text{ outcommes}}[/tex][tex]P(red)=\frac{Numer\text{ of red cards}}{Total\text{ cards}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} P(red)=\frac{26}{52} \\ =\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer:
The probability of selecting a red card is
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
