If you assume that the Ace is high, then the odds of drawing a card higher than a nine is a standard deck of 52 cards is 20 in 52, or 5 in 13, or about 0.3846. If you assume that the Ace is low, then the odds of drawing a card higher than a nine is a standard deck of 52 cards is 16 in 52, or 4 in 13, or about 0.3077.
8 out of 32
The probability of drawing one face card is 12 in 52. The probability of drawing the second face card, then, is 11 in 51. And so on, 10 in 50, 9 in 49, and 8 in 48. Since this is sequential probability, simply multiply the odds, giving (12/52)(11/51)(10/50)(9/49)(8/48) or (95040/311875200). I'l leave it to the reader to do the simple reduction to lowest terms.
This would be like drawing a spade (or any suit for that matter) from a deck of cards one-by-one. Probability is: 13/52*12/51*11/50*10/49*9/48*8/47*7/46*6/45*5/44*4/43*3/42*2/41*1/40 = 6227020800/3.95424E21= 1.57477E-12= 0+
The answer depends on drawing a 9 from WHAT!
