One card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a face card?

Total numbers of elementary events are: 52


Let E be the event of drawing face card


Favourable events are: 4 cards of jack, 4 cards of queen and 4 cards of king


Number of favourable events = 12


P (E) = 12/ 52 = 6/26 = 3/13
