Answer:


\text{probability of banana}(1)/(6)


\text{probability of not ace}=(12)/(13)

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 =(8)/(48)=(1)/(6)

Required probability is
(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 =(4)/(52)=(1)/(13)

Probability of ace + probability of not ace =1

Hence,
\text{probability of not ace}=1-(1)/(13)


\text{probability of not ace}=(12)/(13)
