Playing deck of 52 cards. Select a card from the deck. What is the probability that the card will not be a face card? i have 40/52. 12 face cards minus the 12 face cards. am i close? if not could you explain how to get this answer. thanks ever so much.
40/52 is the correct answer, which reduces to 10/13.
However you typed
>>...12 face cards minus the 12 face cards...<<
But you should have typed this instead:
52 cards minus the 12 face cards leaves 40 non-face cards.
since what you typed would amount to zero! J
But I knew what you meant.
