Calculate Probability of Drawing a Red Face Card from a Standard Deck
A magician showed a magic trick where he picked one card from a standard deck. What is the probability that the card will be a red face card?
Explanation:
with jokers or without jokers ?
a standard deck without jokers has 52 cards.
but a standard deck usually includes 2 jokers, and that is 54 cards.
so, there are 2 different possible answers.
the red face cards are Jack, Queen and King of hearts and diamonds.
so, 6 cards of the whole standard deck.
the probabilty is always
desired events / total events = 6/52 = 3/26 for a deck without jokers. and 6/54 = 3/27 = 1/9 for a deck with jokers.
What is the probability of drawing a red face card from a standard deck, with and without jokers? The probability of drawing a red face card from a standard deck without jokers is 3/26, and with jokers is 1/9.
