Question:
One card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a face card?
(a) $\frac{1}{26}$
(b) $\frac{3}{26}$
(C) $\frac{3}{13}$
(d) $\frac{4}{13}$
Solution:
(c) $\frac{3}{13}$
Explanation:
Total number of all possible outcomes= 52
Number of face cards ( 4 kings + 4 queens + 4 jacks) = 12
$\therefore P($ getting a face card $)=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$
