Answer:

48/52, or 0.92307692307

Explanation:

There are 13 cards in each of the 4 suits.

A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K.

If there is 1 six in 1 suit, and there are 4 suits, there are 4 sixes. The chance of NOT getting a 6 is 52(all the cards)-4(six delt) /52.

48/52=0.92307692307

Want it more professionally?

Using the scientific probability method:

p=probability

p(all cards in 1 deck)-p(a 6 dealt)=p(not dealt a 6)

p(52/52)-p(4/52)=p(not dealt a 6)

p(48/52)=p(not dealt a 6)

There is a 48/52 chance (0.92307692307) that you are not dealt a 6.

Hope this helps!
