Solution

The probability of drawing a face card (Jack, Queen, or King) from a standard deck of 52 cards can be calculated as follows:

  1. Determine the total number of face cards in the deck. In a standard deck, there are 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, and 4 Kings, for a total of 12 face cards.

  2. Determine the total number of cards in the deck. In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.

  3. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcome is drawing a face card, and the total number of outcomes is drawing any card from the deck.

So, the probability of drawing a face card is 12 (the number of face cards) divided by 52 (the total number of cards), which simplifies to 3/13.

Therefore, the correct option is 3/13.
