Answer 1

The answer is D. 7/13

Explanation:

Just took this and this was the answer

Answer 2

0.24

Explanation:

Total cards = 52

Face cards = heart {K,Q,J} , Spade {K,Q,J} , Club {K,Q,J} , Diamond{K,Q,J} = 12

Now we are given that You and a friend each randomly draw a card from a standard deck.

Probability that no one getting face card:

Favorable events = total cards - face cards = 52 -12= 40

Total cards = 52

So, probability that no one is getting face card =
`(40)/(52) =0.76`

Now we are supposed to find the probability that at least one of you is holding a face card

So, probability = 1 - probability that no one is getting face card

=1 - 0.76

= 0.24

So, probability that at least one of you is holding a face card is 0.24
