Question

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability that she draws a red card and then a black card?
A) 1/16
B) 1/26
C) 1/4
D) 1/52

Answer 1

Of the 52 cards in the deck, 26 are red and 26 are black.

The probability of drawing a red card is 26/52.

Whatever she draws, she places back in the deck.

For the second draw, she is looking for a black card out of 52 cards in the deck.

The probability of a black card is 26/52.

Answer 2

Answer 5

then simplify in lowest terms

Answer 6

1/2 * 1/2 = ?

Answer 7

so it would be C?
