Question

A card is chosen at random from a pack of cards. Find the probability of choosing a picture card.

Answer 1

The the probability of finding a certain card depends on how many cards you have in total.

Answer 2

a picture card would be a Jack, Queen or King.

there are 4 of each so a total of 12 picture cards.

there is 52 cards in a standard deck

so you have a 12/52 reduced to 3/13 probability of picking one
