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 $\frac{1}{26}$.
