Answer:
<u>P (E1) = 1/2 or 50%</u>
<u>P (E2) = 3/13 or 23%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Number of playing cards = 52
Number of suits = 4
Number of cards per suit = 13
Number of black suits = 2
Number of red suits = 2
2. Suppose E1 = the outcome is a red card and E2 = the outcome is a face card (K, Q, J). Determine P(E1 or E2).
P (E1) = Number of red cards/Total of playing cards
P (E1) = 26/52 = 1/2 = 50%
P (E2) = Number of face cards/Total of playing cards
P (E2) = 12/52 = 3/13 = 23%
