AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that the card drawn is red and a queen, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of cards A standard deck of cards has 52 cards in total. **Hint:** Remember that a standard deck consists of 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. ### Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes In a standard deck, there are 2 red suits: hearts and diamonds. Each suit has one queen. Therefore, there are 2 red queens (Queen of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds). **Hint:** Think about how many queens are in the red suits. ### Step 3: Calculate the probability The probability (P) of drawing a red queen can be calculated using the formula: \[ P(\text{Red and Queen}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(\text{Red and Queen}) = \frac{2}{52} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction Now, we simplify the fraction: \[ P(\text{Red and Queen}) = \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26} \] ### Final Answer The probability that the card drawn is red and a queen is \( \frac{1}{26} \). ---
