Question

one card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of face cards.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The deck has four suits: spades, clubs,hearts, and diamonds. Each suit has 3 face cards: king, queen and jack. So altogether there are 4 × 3 = 12 face cards in the 52-card deck.

There are different opinions about whether the ace is a picture card. Aces are not included in the answer.

The size of the sample space is 52. Assuming the cards are well-shuffled,

Pr(getting a face card when one card is drawn) = 1252=626=313
