Question

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

Options

• `1/13`

• `4/13`

• `10/13`

• `12/13`

Answer 1

`10/13`

Explanation:

Since there are 12 face cards in a deck of 52cards, the probability of drawing a face card is `12/52= 3/13`

Hence, the probability of not picking a face card `= 1 - 3/13= 10/13`
