Question

standard deck consists of 52 cards, distributed as follows:

There are 13 cards in each of 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. Hearts and diamonds are red. Spades and clubs are black.
In each suit there are 13 ranks: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King.
assume that cards are dealt from a well-shuffled deck; that is, cards are dealt at random without replacement.
QQQ
The "face" cards are those that have a person’s face on them: Jack, Queen, or King. One card is dealt. Find the chance that it is a face card???

Answer 1

There are 52 cards in a standard playing card deck.

There are four of each card:
Ace, Deuce (2), Trey (3), etc, through Ten,
and then there are the face (or picture) cards:
Jack, Queen, and King

Since there are a total of 12 face cards
three types of picture cards multiplied by four of each type, or 3 x 4),
and assuming one is playing with a full deck (pun intended!),
then there are 12 out of 52 such cards,
so the probability of selecting a face card is 12-in-52,
or, reducing the terms, 3-in-13.

Answer 2

pun intended means
