Math Problem Statement
A card is drawn randomly from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probabilities of the given events. The card drawn is a 5.
The card drawn is a face card (Jack, Queen, or King).
The card drawn is not a face card.
Solution
Let's calculate the probabilities of each event step by step:
1. The card drawn is a 5:
In a standard 52-card deck, there are 4 cards that are 5's (one from each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades).
2. The card drawn is a face card (Jack, Queen, or King):
There are 3 face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) in each of the 4 suits. So, the total number of face cards is:
3. The card drawn is not a face card:
Since there are 12 face cards in the deck, the number of non-face cards is:
Final Probabilities:
- The probability of drawing a 5:
- The probability of drawing a face card:
- The probability of drawing a non-face card:

Here are 5 related questions to expand this:
- What is the probability of drawing an Ace from the deck?
- What is the probability of drawing a red card?
- What is the probability of drawing a heart or a club?
- What is the probability of drawing a 10 or a face card?
- What is the probability of drawing a card that is either a spade or a number card?
Tip: To improve your probability skills, practice identifying favorable outcomes versus total outcomes for various real-world scenarios.

Formulas
P(event) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
P(5) = 4/52 = 1/13
P(Face card) = 12/52 = 3/13
P(Not a face card) = 40/52 = 10/13
