In a deck of playing cards, the term face card is generally used to describe a card that depicts a person as opposed to the pip cards. They are also known as court cards, picture cards, or until the early 20th century, coat cards.
face cards are the queens, kings and Jacks.
There is a total of 12 face cards.
The probability of drawing a face card is 12/52= 3/13.
