Question

One card is selected at random from a deck of card. Determine the probability that the card selected is not a 4

Answer 1

Answer:

12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.

First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.

Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:

52 - 4 = 48

So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and

simplify:

48/52

/4   /4

= 12/13
