I have a deck of playing cards which has 52 cards. There are 4 suits (hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs) The cards are numbered Ace to King. What is the probability of me picking up a 3 if all the cards are turned over? Why?

Answer:

1/13

Explanation:

There is a 3 in each suit of the deck so there are 4 number 3s in the deck. 4/52 simplifies to 1/13
