If two cards are drawn without replacement from a 52 card deck, find the probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart.

Answer:

The probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart is 0.1225

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total red cards = 26

Heart cards = 13

Probability of getting red card =[tex]\frac{13}{52}[/tex]

Total remaining card = 51

Remaining red cards = 25

Probability of getting red card in second draw without replacement = [tex]\frac{25}{51}[/tex]

So, the probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart = [tex]\frac{13}{52} \times \frac{25}{51} =0.1225[/tex]

Hence the probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart is 0.1225
