Question
A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. The probability that the card drawn is not an ace is ______.
Options
`1/13`
`9/13`
`4/13`
`12/13`
Solution
A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. The probability that the card drawn is not an ace is `underlinebb(12/13)`.
Explanation:
Total number of cards = 52
Number of ace cards = 4
Probability of the card which is not an ace = 1 – P(ace card)
= `1 - 4/52`
= `1 - 1/13`
= `(13 - 1)/13`
= `12/13`
