Each suit has an ace, nine cards numbered 2 through 10, and three face cards. The face cards are a jack, a queen, and a king. Answer the following questions for a single card drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of cards.
What is the probability of drawing a king of any suit?
What is the probability of drawing a face card that is also a spade?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability of drawing a king of any suit

Number of kings = 4

P(king) = 4/52

= 1/13

b) Probability of drawing a face card that is also a spade

Number of face =3

P(king) = 3/ 52
