Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Calculate the probability that the card will be not a heart.

• A. $\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{3}{4}$
• C. $\frac{5}{4}$
• D. $\frac{5}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{4}$

Total no. of cards $=52$

$\therefore$ Total number of events $=52$

Let E be an event of getting not a heart $n\left(E\right)=52-13=39$

$\therefore P\left(E\right)=\frac{39}{52}=\frac{3}{4}$
