Explanation

There are 12 face cards (Jack, Queen, King of 4 suits) in a 52-card deck. Probability = 12/52 = 3/13.

AI explanation

A standard deck of 52 cards contains 12 face cards, which are the jacks, queens, and kings across the four suits. The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. This makes the probability of drawing a face card 12 divided by 52, which simplifies by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 to reach 3/13.
