� a three given the card is a not a face card.
Comment: When the condition is "not a face card" your
universe has only 40 cards in it. Four of those 40
are 3's. So the probability is 3/40

� a four, given that the card is not a diamond.
"Not a diamond" has 39 cards including one of the 4's.
Ans: 3/38
----------------------------------------------------
� a Jack given the card is not a face card.
"Not a face card" has 40 cards, but none of them is a jack.
Ans: 0/40 = 0
