A single card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards. The probability that a face card (jack, queen, or king) is selected is 3/13. Does this probability mean that if you choose a card at random 13 times, a face card will appear 3 times? If not, what does it mean?

It doesn't, it means that it's likely you will get a face card 3 times out of 13, but there's a chance that you won't.
