What is the probability of not getting a face card from a standard deck of cards?

Answer 1

1) How many face cards are there in a deck?

3 (KQJ) per suite = 12

2) How many cards are in a deck?

13 cards per suite = 52

3) Therefore, there are 40 cards that are not face cards in a deck.

52 - 12 = 40

4) Reduce.

40 10

52 13

5) Your answer is 10/13
