Question

One card is selected from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a face card.

Answer 1

Probability is given by,

$P\left(A\right)$$=\frac{\text{no. of possible outcomes}}{\text{No. of total outcomes}}$

Number of favourable outcomes i.e. ‘a face card’ is $12$ out of $52$ cards.

Therefore, probability of getting ‘a face card’

$P=\frac{12}{52}$

$=\frac{3}{13}$
