Probability Question

Carson flips over the cards of a standard 52-card deck one at a time. What is the probability that he flips over the ace of spades before any face card (jack, queen or king)?

Thanks,
SolarDevil

Re: Probability Question

Hi;

I am getting an answer that is too good to be true?! The probability is 1 / 13.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
