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.

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).

\[
P(\text{5}) = \frac{\text{Number of 5's}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}
\]

### 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:

\[
\text{Number of face cards} = 3 \times 4 = 12
\]

\[
P(\text{Face card}) = \frac{\text{Number of face cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}
\]

### 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:

\[
\text{Number of non-face cards} = 52 - 12 = 40
\]

\[
P(\text{Not a face card}) = \frac{\text{Number of non-face cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{40}{52} = \frac{10}{13}
\]

### Final Probabilities:
- The probability of drawing a 5: \( \frac{1}{13} \)
- The probability of drawing a face card: \( \frac{3}{13} \)
- The probability of drawing a non-face card: \( \frac{10}{13} \)

2. What is the probability of drawing a red card?
3. What is the probability of drawing a heart or a club?
4. What is the probability of drawing a 10 or a face card?
5. 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.
