Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. The probability that drawn card is a red queen, is:

• A. \(\frac{1}{13}\)
• B. \(\frac{2}{13}\)
• C. \(\frac{1}{52}\)
• D. \(\frac{1}{26}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

There are 2 red queens in a deck of 52 cards (one from hearts and one from diamonds). The probability of drawing a red queen is:

\[ \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26} \]

Thus, the probability is \(\frac{1}{26}\).
