Introduction:
The probability of an event in an experiment is the number outcomes in the experiment that are favorable to the event, divided by the total number of possible outcomes in the experiment.
A standard deck of 52 cards has 4 suits having an equal number of cards each- spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds.
Each suit has 3 face cards- 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 Jack. So, there are a total of 12 (= 4 × 3)face cards in the deck.
a.
