Question

A single card is drawn at random from a standard 52 card deck. Work out in its simplest form: p(3)= P(not 3)=

Answer 1

1/13 and 12/13

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know the number of cards that are 3 .

Each suite has a single 3 and there are 4 suites.

This means we have 4 cards that are 3

Now, the probability of 3; P(3) would be 4/52 = 1/13

P(of not 3) = 1- probability of 3 = 1-1/13 = 12/13
