Question

A magician shuffles a standard deck of playing cards and allows an audience member to pull out a card, look at it, and replace it in the deck. Three additional people do the same. Find the probability that of the 4 cards drawn, at least 1 is a face card. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer 1

0.23 or 3/13.

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck. There are four different suits, dividing the decks into 4 sets of 13. There are three face cards for each suit so 3/13. 3 divided by 13 is 0.23. Use fractions if you can because they are easier and more accurate.
