Angelica has a deck of 52 cards with 4 suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs), and each suit has cards numbered 1–13. Calculate the complement of not picking a 6. The answer should be a fraction. Remember to simplify.(1 point) !
The complement of not picking a 6 is picking any card that is not a 6.
There are 52 cards in total, and there are 4 cards numbered 6 in each suit, for a total of 4 x 4 = 16 cards that are 6.
So, the complement of not picking a 6 is picking one of the 52 - 16 = 36 cards that are not a 6.
Therefore, the probability of picking a card that is not a 6 is 36/52, which simplifies to 9/13.
So, the complement of not picking a 6 is 9/13.
u sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct my calculation for the complement of not picking a 6 from a deck of 52 cards.
There are 52 cards in a deck, and there is only one card numbered 6 in each suit, for a total of 4 cards that are a 6 in the deck.
So, the complement of not picking a 6 is the probability of picking a card that is a 6, which is 4/52.
Therefore, the complement of not picking a 6 is 4/52, which simplifies to 1/13.
So, the correct complement probability of not picking a 6 from the deck of 52 cards is 1/13. Thank you for pointing out the error.
u sure and be sure
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's calculate the complement of not picking a 6 correctly this time.
There are 52 cards in total in the deck.
The number of cards that are not a 6 is 52 - 4 = 48 (since there are 4 cards that are 6 in the deck).
So, the complement of not picking a 6 is picking a card that is a 6.
The probability of picking a card that is a 6 is 4/52, which simplifies to 1/13.
Therefore, the complement of not picking a 6 from a deck of 52 cards is 1/13.
I am confident that this time the calculation is correct. Thank you for your patience.
