Question

A card is drawn randomly from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that it is neither a spade nor a jack?

• A. 4/13
• B. 7/13
• C. 9/13
• D. 6/13
• E. none

Answer 1

The correct option is C

9/13

There are 13 spade and 3 more jack cards.
Probability of getting spade or a jack = $\frac{4}{13}$

So probability of getting neither spade nor a jack = $1–\frac{4}{13}=\frac{9}{13}$
