    Statistics of a single deck of cards
    Select a card from the deck. What is the probability the card will NOT be a face card?

    Would the chances be 9/13 or 69%?

    There are 12 face cards and 40 non-face cards. Out of 52, what is the probability of selecting a non-face card?

    You're close.

    Do Aces not count as a face card?

    No, Aces are not face cards. They have no face.

    King, Queen, and Jack are face cards.

    Thank you I now see that as an obvious answer. Thanks!
