Question

What is the probability of not picking a face card when you draw a card at random from a pack of 52 cards?

• A. $\frac{1}{13}$
• B. $\frac{10}{13}$
• C. $\frac{12}{13}$
• D. $\frac{4}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{10}{13}$

Since there are 12 face cards in a deck of 52cards, the probability of drawing a face card is $\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$
Hence, the probability of not picking a face card = $1-\frac{3}{13}=\frac{10}{13}$
