Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a non-ace?

Answer 1

Total number of cards $=52.$

So the number of possible outcomes $=52.$

Let E be the event of getting a non-ace card.

There will be $48$ non-ace cards.

Number of favourable outcomes $=48$

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{Numberoffavourableoutcomes}{Numberofpossibleoutcomes}$

$P\left(E\right)=48/52=24/26=12/13$

Hence the probability of getting a non-ace card is $12/13$.
