Probability of Choosing Red Court Cards in a Deck of Cards
To solve this question, we need to understand what a red court card is and how many are in a standard deck of cards.
In a standard deck, there are 52 cards. There are two red suits: diamonds and hearts. Each of these suits has three "court" or "face" cards: the Jack, Queen, and King.
So for diamonds, there's a Jack, Queen, and King, and the same for hearts. That's a total of 6 red court cards.
The probability of choosing one of these red court cards from a full deck is the number of red court cards divided by the total number of cards.
Probability = Number of red court cards / Total number of cards in the deck
Probability = 6 / 52
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.
Probability = 3 / 26
So the probability of choosing a red court card from a deck of cards is 3 in 26, or approximately 11.54%.
