Question

A single card is drawn from a standard deck of cards. Find the probability if the given information is known about the chosen card. A face card is a jack, queen, or king.
P(face card|jack)

Answer 1

Well, there are 52 cards in a standard deck...

4 suits, (clubs, spades, hearts, diamonds)

So each card has 4 different suits (for example a jack can be:
jack of diamonds
jack of spades
jack of hearts
jack of clubs

If that is true for both queen and king as well...this means there are 12 possible ways to choose a jack, king or queen

So the probability will be

\[\large \text{Probability}(\text{King,Queen or Jack)} = \frac{12}{52}\]

And that can be simplified more...

Answer 2
