Playing Cards. An ordinary deck of playing cards has 52 cards. There are four suits—spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs—with 13 cards in each suit. Spades and clubs are black; hearts and diamonds are red. One of these cards is selected at random. Let R denote the event that a red card is chosen. Find the probability that a red card is chosen, and express your answer in probability notation
Poker Chips. A bowl contains 12 poker chips—3 red, 4 white, and 5 blue. One of these poker chips is selected at random from the bowl. Let B denote the event that the chip selected is blue. Find the probability that a blue chip is selected, and express your answer in probability notation.
Explanation / Answer
Playing cards
Number of red cards = 26
Total number of cards = 52
Probability of red card = 26/52
So, P(R) = 0.5
Poker Chips
Number of blue chips = 5
Total number of blue chips = 12
Probability of blue chip, P(B) = 5/12
