we are drawing two cards without replacement from a standard 52- card deck. find the probability of drawing at least one face card.
----
P(draw at least one face card) = 1 - P(draw no face card)
--------
P(x > 1) = 1 - P(x = 0)
------
P(draw no face card) = 40C2/52C2 = 0.5882
====
P(x > 1 ) = 1 - 0.5882 = 0.4118
