The probability of the card being a queen, given that it is a face card is; 33%

How to find the probability of selection?

The probability of an event is simply the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible.

In a  standard deck of cards, we know that there are 52 cards in total and that out of those 52 cards, there are 12 face cards.

Now, One-third of those face cards are always queens, due to the fact that there are 4 queens in a deck of cards.

This means that the probability using the formula of;

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of expected outcomes

Probability = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.33 = 33%

Therefore, we conclude that there is a 33% chance that the card Luke holds is a queen.
