Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a face card.

Answer 1

Number of possible outcomes when card is drawn from pack of 52 cards = 52 

n(S) = 52 

Number of face cards (4 kings + 4 queens + 4 jacks) = 12

E = event of drawing a face card 

n(E) = 12 

Probability of drawing face card = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 12/52 = 3/13 `
