P of spade = 1/4

P of face cards = 3/13

{P = probability}

Explanation:

•Total cards in a deck = 52

No. of spade cards in the deck = 13

therefore,

Probability of drawing a spade out of a deck of cards = 13/52 = 1/4

No. of face cards in a deck = 3×4 = 12 (joker,king,queen)

therefore,

Probability of drawing a face card out of a deck of cards = 12/52 = 3/13

Hope it helps you ~
