A card is picked from a standard deck of 52 cards. determine the odds against and the odds in favor of selecting a 10

You are given a card is picked from a standard deck of 52 cards. You are asked to determine the odds against and the odds in favor of selecting a 10. There are a total of 52 cards in a deck. In selecting a 10 of any card, you get four 10's in all kinds of cards (spade, clover, heart, diamond). So to solve for the probability of the odds in favor of selecting a 10, divide four by 52 and you get 10/52 or 5/26. To solve for the probability of the odds against selecting a 10, subtract four from 52 and you will get 48 and then divide it by 52 so 48/52 or 12/13.
