A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards). Find the probability of selecting
· a prime number under 10 given the card is red. (1 is not prime.)
(2*4)/26 = 8/26 = 4/13
----------------------------
· a King, given that the card is not a heart.
3/39 = 1/13
----------------------------
· a nine given the card is a face card.
0/12 = 0
================
