ANSWER:

The answer is 30.77%

Explanation:

The probability would be the number of cards that meet the conditions divided by the total number of cards.

The pack of cards is a “Standard Pack", that is it has 4 suits (Diamonds, Hearts, Spades, Clubs), and cards Ace, 2 to 10 inclusive in each suit and Jack, Queen and King in each suit, giving a total of 52 cards.

There are 3 Face Cards in each suit (Jack, Queen, King)

Therefore there are 3 Face Cards in each suit in the pack or 3 x 4 (or 12) Face Cards in the pack.

Card 2, there is 4 times one for 4 suit.

Therefore:


P(\text{face, 2})=(12+4)/(52)=(16)/(52)=0.3077=30.77\text{\%}
