Answer:

0.14479638

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 2 cards out of 52 are drawn without replacement, hypergeometric probability distribution should be used. Hence,

Combination of drawing 1 ace of 4 total aces C(4,1)

Combination of drawing 1 non-ace of 48 total non aces C(48,1)

Combination of drawing 2 cards of total 52 cards C(52.2)

C(4,1) = 4, C(48,1) = 48, C(52,2) = 1326

4*48/1326 = 0.14479638

I'm assuming your answers are listed as 1 through 4, not decimals.
You simply take 12 - 8 = 4, but ten min. less than that, so 3 hr, 50 min. then add 3 hr 45 min, totaling 7 hr 35 min. , which is closest to 7 and 1/2 hours, the second option.
