A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards, including 4 suits of 13 cards each. If one card is drawn at random, what is the probability of drawing a face card (jack, queen, or king)

Answer 1

There are a total of 12 face cards in a standard deck of playing cards (4 jacks, 4 queens, and 4 kings).

Therefore, the probability of drawing a face card is:

Probability = Number of face cards / Total number of cards
Probability = 12 / 52
Probability = 3 / 13

So, the probability of drawing a face card from a standard deck of playing cards is 3/13 or approximately 0.23 or 23%.
