Asked by Patrick

There are 4 queens in a standard deck of 52 cards. You pick one card at random. What is the probability of not picking a queen?

This one is a bit confusing.
4/52=1/13 is the probability of picking a queen.

I am not sure how to figure this one out.

Would the answer be 12 out of 13 or 12/13
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes! 12/13

Ms. Sue really? Oh my goodness.
I will explain to you how I figured this out.

4/52
I took 52-4 which equals 48
48/52=24/26=12/13

12/13 + 1/13=13/13

That works -- but it's a round about way to get it. But whatever works! :-)

Okay. Yes see what you are saying. There is also a different method in figuring it out is what you are saying.
