Answer : 2. "1/2"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/2 Explanation: We know that: When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52 We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26 Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S) ∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
