From the question we have

one Heart card

Three non heart cards

This implies that

Total number of cards = 4

we are to find the probability that a heart is not drawn. And we are given that


Pr(\text{not heart) =}\frac{number\text{ of cards that are not hearts}}{number\text{ of possible outcomes}}

inputting the values, we have


Pr(\text{not heart) = }(3)/(4)

Therefore, probability that the card drawn is not heart is 3/4
