Question

Roger Drew one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. what is the probability that the card Roger Drew is not a club? remember all fractions have to be simplified.

Answer 1

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 suits (Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades) and there are 13 cards in each suit. This means, there are 13 possible club cards to pick from the 52 card deck.

But it is asking for, "not a club".

Which means, we have to find out the probability of Roger not picking the club card.

So we have to find out the possible cards to pick which are not club.

We can simply do :

52-13 = 39

Now there are 39 cards which are not a club, so there are 39 different possibilities.

We can simply make it a fraction =

39/52 .

Now that we have made it a fraction, we can simplify it.

Which makes it :

3/4

So the answer is 3/4.
