Answer 1

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. The probability of getting a face card is `underlinebb(3/13)`.

Explanation:

Total number of cards = 52

Number of face cards = 12

∴ Probability = `"Number of face cards"/"Total number of cards"`

= `12/52`

= `3/13`
