Final answer:

The probability of being dealt a hand that does not contain a heart in poker can be calculated by subtracting the probability of being dealt a hand with a heart from 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of being dealt a hand that does not contain a heart can be calculated by subtracting the probability of being dealt a hand with a heart from 1.

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards in total and 13 of them are hearts. So, the probability of being dealt a hand with a heart is 13/52.

Therefore, the probability of being dealt a hand that does not contain a heart is 1 - 13/52 = 39/52 = 0.75.
