To start, there are 12 face cards in the deck of 52 cards.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, P(first draw is a face card) = 12/52
\n" ); document.write( "P(2nd draw is a face card) = 11/51
\n" ); document.write( "P(3rd draw is a face card) = 10/50
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(3 cards drawn are all face cards) = (12/52)*(11/51)*(10/50) = (3/13)*(11/51)*(1/5) = $\"+highlight%28+33%2F3315+%29+\"$ or approx. 0.009955, just less than 1%.\r
