The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of drawing a red face card from a standard deck of 52 cards, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the total number of cards in the deck**: - A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. 2. **Determine the total number of face cards**: - In a deck, there are 3 face cards (Jack, Queen, King) in each suit. - Since there are 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades), the total number of face cards is: \[ 3 \text{ face cards/suit} \times 4 \text{ suits} = 12 \text{ face cards} \] 3. **Identify the red face cards**: - The red suits are hearts and diamonds. - Each red suit has 3 face cards (Jack, Queen, King). - Therefore, the total number of red face cards is: \[ 3 \text{ face cards (hearts)} + 3 \text{ face cards (diamonds)} = 6 \text{ red face cards} \] 4. **Calculate the probability of drawing a red face card**: - The probability \( P \) of an event is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] - Here, the number of favorable outcomes (red face cards) is 6, and the total number of outcomes (total cards) is 52. - Thus, the probability is: \[ P(\text{red face card}) = \frac{6}{52} \] 5. **Simplify the fraction**: - To simplify \( \frac{6}{52} \), we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2: \[ \frac{6 \div 2}{52 \div 2} = \frac{3}{26} \] ### Final Answer: The probability of drawing a red face card is \( \frac{3}{26} \).
