Using a standard deck of 52 cards, Lisa drew a card, recorded the suit of the card picked, then replaced it back in the deck. She continued this for a total of 40 draws. The table shows the frequency of each type of card drawn.

Answer:

To determine the experimental probability of not selecting a club, we need to calculate the frequency of non-club cards drawn and divide it by the total number of draws.

The total number of draws is given as 40.

The frequency of non-club cards can be calculated by summing the values for Diamonds, Spades, and Hearts:

Diamonds: 7

Spades: 11

Hearts: 9

Frequency of non-club cards: 7 + 11 + 9 = 27

Now, we divide the frequency of non-club cards (27) by the total number of draws (40):

Experimental probability of not selecting a club = Frequency of non-club cards / Total number of draws

Experimental probability of not selecting a club = 27 / 40 ≈ 0.675

Therefore, the experimental probability of not selecting a club is approximately 0.675 or 67.5%.
