A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards, and there are 2 red sevens (the 7 of hearts and the 7 of diamonds). To find the probability of drawing a red seven, we can use the formula for probability:

\[ P(\text{event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \]

In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is 2 (the two red sevens), and the total number of outcomes is 52 (the total number of cards in the deck).

So the probability is:

\[ P(\text{red seven}) = \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26} \]

Looking at the given options, none correspond directly to the probability we calculated (\(\frac{1}{26}\) is not listed). If we need to express the probability in terms of the options, we can convert it to a common format.

  • \(\frac{2}{52}\) simplifies to \(\frac{1}{26}\).

None of the provided responses directly reflect the probability of drawing a red seven from a standard deck. If you must choose from the options given, please clarify the context or check for any discrepancies in the response list.
