Question

Two cards are drawn at random from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of not

drawing a 10 or a Queen? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answer 1

0.85

Explanation:

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. There are 4 10s and 4 Queens in the deck. There 8 cards that are 10s or Queens.

52 - 8 = 44

There are 44 out of 52 cards that are not 10s or Queens.

p(not 10 or Queen) = 44/52 = 0.85

Answer: 0.85
