One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of getting a non-face card?

Answer»

Total numbers of elementary events are: 52 

Let E be the event of getting a non –face card 

The total number of favorable outcomes are ; 52 – 12 = 40: being four cards each of king , queen, jack being a face card , deleted from the favorable outcomes number 

P (non-face card) = P (E) = \(\frac{40}{52}\) = \(\frac{20}{26}\) = \(\frac{10}{13}\)
