Question

hey could someone please help me....

If you separate all the clubs from a deck of cards and pick 3 of those 13 cards, what is the probability that the cards are jack, queen, and king in ascending or descending order?

Answer 1

Firstly, do you know how many cards are in a deck, and how many different suits there are?

Answer 2

4 suits 52 cards

Answer 3

And how many face cards?

Answer 4

12 in total but 3 in clubs

Answer 5

Yep :) so, you have a 2/13 chance of it being either King or Jack, a 1/12 chance of it being a Queen after you choose that, and a 1/11 chance of it being either the King or the Jack

\[\frac{2}{13}\times \frac{1}{12}\times \frac{1}{11}=\]
