Moshe · Answer 1

P (King) = 4/52 = 1/13

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know there are 52 cards in total from 2 to 10, and King, Queen, Jack, and Ace, with each of them are equal in numbers which is 4.

Total Number of Kings in the Deck of Cards = 4

P (King) = Number of Kings/Total Number of Cards

= 4/52 = 1/13
