Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

  1. Identify the total number of cards in a deck: A standard deck has 52 cards.

  2. Identify the number of face cards: There are 3 face cards (Jack, Queen, King) in each suit. Since there are 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades), the total number of face cards is: 3 face cards/suit×4 suits=12 face cards 3 \text{ face cards/suit} \times 4 \text{ suits} = 12 \text{ face cards}

  3. Calculate the probability: The probability P P of drawing a face card is the number of face cards divided by the total number of cards in the deck. P(face card)=Number of face cardsTotal number of cards=1252 P(\text{face card}) = \frac{\text{Number of face cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{12}{52}

  4. Simplify the fraction: 1252=313 \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}

  5. Convert the fraction to a decimal: 3130.2308 \frac{3}{13} \approx 0.2308

  6. Round to 4 decimal places: The probability of drawing a face card is approximately 0.2308 0.2308 .

So, the probability of drawing a face card is 0.2308 0.2308 .
