C Correct answer
Explanation

Numbered cards are 2 through 10 in each suit, totaling 9 cards per suit. With 4 suits, there are 36 numbered cards. Probability = 36 / 52 = 9 / 13.

AI explanation

A standard pack contains 52 cards, and numbered cards range from 2 to 10 across all four suits. This gives 9 numbered cards per suit, resulting in 36 numbered cards in total. The probability is the count of favorable outcomes divided by the total outcomes, which is 36 divided by 52, simplifying to 9 divided by 13.
