Question

question 13 a card is drawn at random from a well - shuffled deck of 52 cards. what is the probability of drawing a face card or a 5? a 16 b 4/13 c 2/13 d 48/52

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of face cards and 5s

• There are 12 face cards (4 Jacks, 4 Queens, 4 Kings) and 4 fives in a deck of 52 cards.
• Total favorable outcomes \(n = 12 + 4=16\)
• Total number of outcomes \(N = 52\)

Step2: Calculate the probability

• Probability formula \(P=\frac{n}{N}\)
• Substitute \(n = 16\) and \(N = 52\) into the formula: \(P=\frac{16}{52}=\frac{4}{13}\)

Answer:

B. \(4/13\)
