Question

One card is drawn at random from a pack of $52$ cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a face card (Jack, Queen and King only)?

• A. $\frac{1}{13}$
• B. $\frac{2}{13}$
• C. $\frac{3}{13}$
• D. $\frac{4}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{13}$

Clearly, there are $52$ cards, out of which there are $12$ face cards.

$P\left(gettingafacecard\right)=\frac{\text{Number of face cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}}=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$
