6 1

1 8

5 6


1 6

A standard deck of 52 cards contains 4 aces. What is the probability of randomly drawing a card that is not an ace?



12 13


3 4


1 13


51 52

Answer 1

The answer for the first one is b 1/8 and the 2nd one is 1/13

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{probability of banana}\frac{1}{6}$

$\text{probability of not ace}=\frac{12}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

Total of 48 cards and 8 card of each fruit

$Probability =\frac{\text{favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

On substituting the values in the formula we will get

$Probability =\frac{8}{48}=\frac{1}{6}$

Required probability is   $\frac{1}{6}$

Question 2:

Total number of ace is 4

Total number of cards is 52

$Probability =\frac{\text{favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

On substituting the values in the formula we will get

$Probability =\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$

Probability of ace + probability of not ace =1

Hence, $\text{probability of not ace}=1-\frac{1}{13}$

$\text{probability of not ace}=\frac{12}{13}$
