In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of drawing a number greater than 10?

Step 1. Assume you call the face cards a number greater than 10.

Step 2. There are 12 face cards in a 52-card deck.

Step 3. ANSWER: Therefore, the probability of drawing a facecard or a number greater than ten is if you assume a facecard is a number. If you don't call the face card a number, there is no number greater than 10 in a 52-card deck. Then the probability of a number greater than 10 is zero.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
