Consider an experiment with a deck of 52 playing cards, in which there are 13 cards in each suit, two suits are black, and two suits are red. Suppose E1 = the outcome is a red card and E2 = the outcome is a face card (K, Q, J). Determine P(E1 or E2).

Answer:

P (E1) = 1/2 or 50%

P (E2) = 3/13 or 23%

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%

Answer:

outcomes of E1 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36]

outcomes of E2 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35]
