Angelica has a deck of 52 cards with 4 suits and each suit has cards numbered 1 - 13 calculate the complement of not picking a 6 the answer should be a fraction remember to simplify

Answer 1

To find the complement of not picking a 6 from a deck of 52 cards, we need to calculate the probability of not picking a 6 and then subtract that from 1.

There are 4 suits in a deck of cards, each with 13 cards. So, the total number of cards in the deck = 4 x 13 = 52 cards.

The number of cards that are not a 6 = 52 - 4 = 48 cards (since there are 4 6's in the deck).

Therefore, the probability of not picking a 6 = 48/52 = 12/13

To find the complement of not picking a 6, we subtract this probability from 1:

Complement = 1 - 12/13
Complement = 1/13

So, the complement of not picking a 6 from a deck of 52 cards is 1/13.
