Answer: There is a 5.32544378% Chance of a face card being pulled twice

Step-by-step explanation: If there is 52 cards in a deck, and 12 of them are face cards, there is roughly a 23% (23.0769%) chance of pulling one in the first draw. Multiply .230769 x .230769 and you get .0532544378 which equals 5.32544378%
