<PRE><B>Question 1056884</B>
 A card is selected at random from a standard deck of playing cards. 
Compute the probability that the card is a face card (jack, queen, or king). (Enter your probability as a fraction.) 
---
# of ways to succeed:: 3*4 = 12 face cards
# of possible choices:: 52 cards
----------------
P(select a face card) = 12/52 = 3/13
