Question
A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is:
neither an ace nor a king
Advertisements
Solution
This means that we have to leave the aces and the kings out. There are 4 aces and 4 kings. Hence, the probability of drawing neither an ace nor a king is: (52\[-\]4\[-\]4)/52 = 11/13.
