Olivia has a deck of well-shuffled playing cards. What are the odds:

Question

a) in favour of drawing a red face card?
b) against drawing a black card?

Answer 1

I assume that you count 12 face cards in a deck, of which 6 are red
Prob(red face card) = 6/52 = 3/26
prob(NOT red face card) = 33/26
odds in favour of red face card = (3/26) : (33/26) = 3 : 33 = 1 : 11

let me know what you did for b)

Answer 2

the answer for b is 1:1

Answer 3

yes
