Since there are 2 black suites and there are 26 (1/2) black cards in a deck, and there is 1 five per suite, there are 2 black fives. Therefore, since there are 52 cards in a deck, there is a 2/52 you draw a black 5. To find the odds against that, we get 1-2/52=52/52-2/52=50/52 due to that we want to find the probability of not drawing a black 5 so we subtract the chances of getting that from the equation
