Question

You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a king.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Let the probability of picking a king be Pr(K). The probability of not picking a king is given;

`Pr(K^(\prime))=1-Pr(K)`

The number of kings in a deck = 4

The number of cards in a deck = 52

`Pr(K^{^(\prime)})=\frac{The\text{ number of kings in a deck}}{\text{The number of cards in a deck}}=(4)/(52)=(1)/(13)`

Therefore;

`Pr(K^(\prime))=1-Pr(K)=1-(1)/(13)=(12)/(13)`

Answer:

`(12)/(13)`
