You are dealt one card from a 52 - card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a card with number from 2 to 8.The probability is _____.(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Q. You are dealt one card from a 52 - card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a card with number from 2 to 8.The probability is _____.(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Determine Total Cards: Let's first determine the total number of cards in a standard deck that have numbers from 2 to 8. Each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) has one card for each number from 2 to 8, which makes 7 cards per suit. Since there are 4 suits, we have 7×4=28 cards with numbers from 2 to 8.
Find Remaining Cards: Now, we need to find the number of cards that do not have numbers from 2 to 8. Since there are 52 cards in total and 28 of these are from 2 to 8, the remaining cards are 52−28=24.
Calculate Probability: The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are the 24 cards that are not numbered from 2 to 8, and the total number of possible outcomes is the total number of cards, which is 52.
Calculate Probability: The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are the 24 cards that are not numbered from 2 to 8, and the total number of possible outcomes is the total number of cards, which is 52.Calculating the probability, we have P(not 2 to 8)=5224. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, which gives us P(not 2 to 8)=136.
