We need to find the probability that the second card drawn is a face card.

We know that the first card drawn was a queen, i.e., a face card.

Since there are a total of 12 face cards in a standard deck of 52 playing cards, after the first card was drawn, there were left 11 face cards and a total of 51 cards.

Thus, the probability that the second card drawn is a face card is:


(11)/(51)

Answer: 11/51
