my interpretation of a face card is
either Jack, Queen, or King
number(spade or face)
= number(spade) + number(face) - number(spade AND face)
= 13 + 12 - 3 = 22
prob(spade or face) = 22/52 = 11/26
either Jack, Queen, or King
number(spade or face)
= number(spade) + number(face) - number(spade AND face)
= 13 + 12 - 3 = 22
prob(spade or face) = 22/52 = 11/26
