Question

You have a single deck of well shuffled cards. Then,1. What is the probability that the card drawn will be a queen?
2. What is the probability that it is a face card?3. What is the probability it is a spade?4. What is the probability that is the face card of spades?5. What is the probability it is not a face card?

Answer 1

1. 1/13
2. 3/13
3. 1/4
4. 15/16

Answer 2

The probabilities of getting different cards from a well shuffled deck would be as follows:

Total cards in the deck are: 52

1) Number of queens = 4

Probability of getting  a queen = 4/52 = 1/13

2)  Number of face cards = 12

Probability of getting  a face cards = 12/52 = 3/13

3)  Number of spades = 13

Probability of getting  a spade = 13/52 = 1/4

4)  Number of face cards of spade = 3

Probability of getting  a face card of spades = 3/52

5)  Probability of getting  a face cards =  3/13

Probability of not getting  a face cards = 1 - 3/13 = 10/13
