If a person draws five cards from a standard deck (without replacing them), what is the probability that at least one of the cards is a face card? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
----
P(at least one face) = 1 - P(no face)
---
# of ways to get no face cards: 40C5
---
# of possible sets of 5 cards: 52C5
--------------------
1 - P(no face) = 1 - [40C5/52C5]
------
= 1 - 0.2532
-------
= 0.7468
