A card is selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards). Find the probability of selecting
· P(a five given the card is a not a club) = 3/39 = 1/13
· P(a heart given the card is red)= 13/26 = 1/2
· P(a face card, given that the card is black) = 6/26 = 3/13
