What is the probability of not picking a face card when you draw a card at random from a pack of 52 cards?
Answer: C
There are 12 face cards - jack, queen and king in each of the four suits - so 40 cards are not face cards.
\[ P = \frac{40}{52} = \frac{10}{13} \]
Equivalently \( 1 - \tfrac{12}{52} = 1 - \tfrac{3}{13} = \tfrac{10}{13} \).
