You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt an ace.The probability is □ (Type an integer or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)
Q. You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt an ace.The probability is □ (Type an integer or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)
Count Aces: Determine the total number of aces in a standard 52-card deck.There are 4 aces in a deck (one for each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades).
Calculate Non-Aces: Calculate the number of cards that are not aces.Since there are 52 cards in total and 4 of them are aces, the number of cards that are not aces is 52−4.52−4=48
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of not being dealt an ace.The probability is the number of favorable outcomes (not getting an ace) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (any card from the deck).Probability = Number of cards that are not aces / Total number of cardsProbability = 5248
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction to express the probability in simplest terms. 5248 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4.48÷4=1252÷4=13So, the simplified fraction is 1312.
