In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of drawing a face card (J,Q, or K)?

Step 1. There are a total of 12 face cards in a standard 52-card deck.

Step 2. Therefore the probability is P(face card)=12%2F52=3%2F13=0.231

Step 3. ANSWER: The probability of drawing a face card is 3%2F13=0.231. A 23.1% chance of drawing a face card.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
