Question

In a deck of cards, what is P(face card)?

A) P(face card) = 12/52
B) P(face card) = 3/13
C) P(face card) = 1/4
D) P(face card) = 1/13

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a face card in a deck of cards is 3/13.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there are 4 face cards in each of the 4 suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades), making a total of 12 face cards.

The deck contains a total of 52 cards.

To calculate the probability of drawing a face card, you can use the formula:

P(face card) = Number of face cards / Total number of cards

Therefore, P(face card) = 12 / 52, which simplifies to 3/13.
