# of ways to get 0 face cards: choose 0 of the 12 face cards and 5 of the 40 other cards.
# of ways to get 1 face card: choose 1 of the 12 face cards and 4 of the 40 other cards.
# of ways to get 2 face cards: choose 2 of the 12 face cards and 3 of the 40 other cards.
The probability of getting at most 2 face cards is the total number of ways of getting at most 2 face cards, divided by the total number of ways of choosing 5 cards from the full deck of 52:
to 3 decimal places.
