A standard deck of 52 cards is shuffled, and one card is drawn. What is the probability of drawing a face card (jack, queen, or king)?

The face cards are the jacks, queens, and kings. There are $3$ of them in each of the $4$ suits, so there are $12$ face cards in a deck of $52$. The probability is $\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$, choice B. Choice A ($\frac{3}{52}$) counts the face cards in only one suit. Choice C ($\frac{4}{13}$) is the probability of drawing a specific rank-type group of $16$ cards, such as counting the aces as well. Choice D ($\frac{1}{4}$) is the probability of drawing a card from a particular suit. Count carefully which cards qualify.
