Question

A card is selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards). Find the probability of selecting

•an odd prime number under 10 given the card is a club. (1 is not prime.)
•a Jack, given that the card is not a heart.
•a King given the card is not a face card.


Show step by step work. Give all solutions exactly in reduced fraction form.

Answer 1

an odd prime number under 10 given the card is a club
3,5,7
so,3/52

a Jack, given that the card is not a heart.
there are 4 jacks in a deck
so,3/52

a King given the card is not a face card.
King is a face card
so,0/52=0

Answer 2

for the second one wouldn't it be the # jacks (not hearts) be 3
and the total # of not hearts 39
so then it would be 3 / 39 = 1/3 ?

please help me

Answer 3

and the probability (kings) = # kings given which is zero
divided by total # not face cards is 52 - 12 wich is 40
then i would have 0 / 40 = no chance
