If one card is randomly selected, what is the probability that the card selected is neither an ace nor a jack?
P(not ace or jack) = 1-8/52 = ?
A single card is selected from a shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability:
a)P(not a picture card OR not a red card)
To find the probability that a randomly selected card is neither an ace nor a jack, we need to determine the total number of cards that are not aces or jacks, and divide it by the total number of cards in a deck.
A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards. In a deck of cards, there are 4 aces and 4 jacks. Therefore, the total number of cards that are neither an ace nor a jack is 52 - 4 (aces) - 4 (jacks) = 44 cards.
The probability of selecting a card that is neither an ace nor a jack is the number of favorable outcomes (44 cards) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (52 cards):
Probability = 44/52 = 11/13 ≈ 0.8462
Therefore, the probability that the card selected is neither an ace nor a jack is approximately 0.8462 or 84.62%.
