Q. You are dealt one card from a 5252 - card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a card with number from 22 to 88.\newlineThe probability is _____ \_\_\_\_\_ .\newline(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
  1. Determine Total Cards: Let's first determine the total number of cards in a standard deck that have numbers from 22 to 88. Each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) has one card for each number from 22 to 88, which makes 77 cards per suit. Since there are 44 suits, we have 7×4=287 \times 4 = 28 cards with numbers from 22 to 88.
  2. Find Remaining Cards: Now, we need to find the number of cards that do not have numbers from 22 to 88. Since there are 5252 cards in total and 2828 of these are from 22 to 88, the remaining cards are 5228=2452 - 28 = 24.
  3. 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 2424 cards that are not numbered from 22 to 88, and the total number of possible outcomes is the total number of cards, which is 5252.
  4. 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 2424 cards that are not numbered from 22 to 88, and the total number of possible outcomes is the total number of cards, which is 5252.Calculating the probability, we have P(not 2 to 8)=2452P(\text{not } 2 \text{ to } 8) = \frac{24}{52}. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 44, which gives us P(not 2 to 8)=613P(\text{not } 2 \text{ to } 8) = \frac{6}{13}.
