Question

Cards are dealt at random without replacement. One card is dealt. Find the chance that its color is black and its rank is an even number

Answer 1

The odds that a random card from a deck is black is 26:52

There are 2 ways of viewing whether a card is "even" or not:

If queens are deemed "even" and jacks and kings are deemed "odd", then the odds that the card is odd is again 26:52


OTOH, If face cards are neither odd nor even, then the field of even cards in a deck is reduced to 20:52

So the odds of a random card being black and even when

Face cards are included as "even" are

1:2 * 1:2

Face cards are NOT included as "even or odd" are

1:2 * 5:13
