Question
A card is drawn from a pack of well-shuffled 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card is drawn is a face card.
Solution 1
There are 52 playing cards in a pack.
Number of face cards = 12
P(drawing a face card) = `"Favourable outcomes"/"Total outcomes"` = `12/52` = `3/13`
Solution 2
Event = { face cards }
n(E) = 12
P(E) = ?
∴ P(E) = `"n(E)"/"n(S)" = 12/52 = 3/13`.
