One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. If each outcome is equally likely, calculate the probability that the card will be not a black card.
One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. If each outcome is equally likely, calculate the probability that the card will be not a black card.
When a card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards, the number of possible outcomes is $52$
The event 'card drawn is not a black card' may be denoted as $C'$ or 'not $C'$.
We know that $P$ (not $C$ ) $=1- P ( C )=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, probability of not a black card $=\frac{1}{2}$

An experiment consists of rolling a die and then tossing a coin if the number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd, the coin is tossed twice. Write the sample space for this experiment.
