Answer 1

Answer: 20.77%

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck. Out of these cards, there are 12 face cards. Thus, the probability of drawing a face is 12/52.

On a 20-sided dice, there are 20 options of numbers to roll. Out of these 20 numbers, 18 of the numbers are greater than or equal to 3, making the probability 18/20, or 9/10.

To find the probability of two events, you need to multiply the probabilities together. Thus, you need to multiply 12/52 by 9/10.

(12/52) * (9/10) = 27/130

27/130 is about equal to 0.2077, or a 20.77% probability.
