document.write( "three cards removed at random, one at a time 'without replacement'
\n" );
document.write( "Given there are 12 face cards(jack, queen,king in each the 4 suits)
\n" );
document.write( " 40 of the cards are 'not' face cards
\n" );
document.write( "P(at least one of the cards is a face card) = 1 - P(no face cards) 
\n" );
document.write( " 1 - P(no face cards) = 1 - 40/52*39/51*38*50\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Note: w/o replaceement: 
\n" );
document.write( "the number of non-face cards and the number of cards is one less when next card is drawn \n" );
