Question

A standard deck consists of 52 cards, distributed as follows: There are 13 cards in each of 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. Hearts and diamonds are red. Spades and clubs are black. In each suit there are 13 ranks: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King.

Assume that cards are dealt from a well-shuffled deck; that is, cards are dealt at random without replacement.
1. The "face" cards are those that have a person’s face on them: Jack, Queen, or King. One card is dealt. Find the chance that it is a face card.

Answer 1

A standard deck consists of 52 cards.each card has 4 colors.So if there are 3 face cards ,it means:
4 x 3 =12 face cards in total.

Therefore,
The total number outcomes are 52 and if we want to draw tha face cards then the probability will be :
P (face cards) = 12/52
= 6/26
= 3/13
