Question 402246: Consider the experiment of selecting a card from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards and determine the probability of the stated event.
a.) A red 7 is drawn.
b.) A jack is drawn
A probability is always a fraction which has a value greater than or equal to zero or less than or equal 1.
The denominator of your fraction is the number of ways that an event can occur, including both those outcomes that the experimenter would consider a failure and the outcomes that would be considered a success. For both of your problems, the denominator is 52 because you are given that there are 52 cards in the deck.
The numerator of the fraction is the number of possibilities that would be considered a success.
There are 2 red 7s in the deck. There are 4 jacks in the deck.
