If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card youselect is not a 9?
Write your answer as a simplified fraction.
Well, the probability of selecting a 9 from a standard deck of 52 cards is 4/52, since there are 4 nines in the deck.
To find the probability of not selecting a 9, we subtract the probability of selecting a 9 from 1.
So, 1 - 4/52 simplifies to 48/52.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a card that is not a 9 is 48/52.
But hey, let's not forget about the jokers. If we throw in a couple of clowns into the mix, who knows what could happen!
