Question

A card is selected at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards.The probability of it being a face card

Answer 1

so there are total 3 types of face cards in each set(total there are 4 sets of different type each having 13 cards)

these are jack, king and queen

so total number of cards in 4 sets=4*3=12

so there are 12 face cards in total

so probability of getting a face card will be=12/52

=3/13
