Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a 7 + Probability of not getting a 7 = 1.

Odds against drawing a 7 = Probability of not getting a 7.

We could calculate the probability of getting a 7 and subtract 1 from it to get the answer.

There a four sevens in a deck of card, one of each kind.

Probability of getting a 7 = $P(7) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$

$\implies P(not \hspace{1mm} getting \hspace{1mm} a \hspace{1mm} 7) = 1 - P(7)$

$\implies$ P(not getting a 7) $= 1 - \frac{1}{13} = \frac{12}{13}$

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

$\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\log_2(x+1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\log_2(\underline{y}+1)}\implies 2^x=2^{\log_2({y}+1)} \\\\\\ 2^x=y+1\implies 2^x-1=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 2^2-1=f^{-1}(2)\implies 3=f^{-1}(2)$
