Question

in a pack of 52 cards what is the probability of a face card appearing if you pick a card ( aces A are not considered face cards)​

Answer 1

Answer:

P(getting a face card)=12/52

=3/13

Answer 2

Answer:

let the set of 52 cards be S.

Therefore,

n(S)=52,

There 3 face cards each in spade,diamond,club and heart.

So, in total there would be 3×4=12 face cards.

let the set of face cards be F.

Therefore,

n(F)=12

The formula for probability =n(S)/n(F)

=12/52

=3/13

Therefore the probability for a face to appear is 3/13.
