Q. You pick a card at random.\newline34563456\newlineWhat is P(even)P(\text{even})?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline__\_\_
  1. Identify total number of cards: Identify the total number of cards and even cards in a standard deck.\newlineA standard deck has 5252 cards. Half of these, or 2626, are even (22, 44, 66, 88, 1010 for each of the four suits).\newlineCalculation: Total cards = 5252, Even cards = 2626
  2. Calculate probability of picking: Calculate the probability of picking an even card. Probability PP is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. Calculation: P(even)=Even cardsTotal cards=2652P(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Even cards}}{\text{Total cards}} = \frac{26}{52}
  3. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction to find the final probability.\newlineSimplifying 2652\frac{26}{52} by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2626.\newlineCalculation: 2652=12\frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}
