Question

One card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a face card?

Options

• `1/26`

• `3/26`

• `3/13`

• `4/13`

Answer 1

`3/13`

Explanation:

Total number of all possible outcomes= 52

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

 ∴ P( getting a face card) = `12/52 = 3/13`
