Consider an experiment with a deck of 52 playing cards, in which there are 13 cards in each suit, two suits are black, and two suits are red. suppose e1 = the outcome is a red card and e2 = the outcome is a face card (k, q, j). determine p(e1 or e2).

P (E1) = 1/2 or 50%

P (E2) = 3/13 or 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of playing cards = 52

Number of suits = 4

Number of cards per suit = 13

Number of black suits = 2

Number of red suits = 2

2.  Suppose E1 = the outcome is a red card and E2 = the outcome is a face card (K, Q, J). Determine P(E1 or E2).

P (E1) = Number of red cards/Total of playing cards

P (E1) = 26/52 = 1/2 = 50%

P (E2) = Number of face cards/Total of playing cards

P (E2) = 12/52 = 3/13 = 23%
