find the probablility of getting two face cards (king, queen, or Jack) when 2 cards are drawn from the deck without replacement.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "There are 12 face cards in the deck.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to succeed: 12C2 = 66
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "# of random pairs: 52C2 = 1326
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P(2 face cards) = 66/1326 = 0.0498
\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "You are correct.
