Answer :
Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. It is expressed as;
[tex]\text{Probabiblity = }\frac{Expected\text{ outcome}}{Total\text{ outcome}}[/tex]Total number of cards is the total outcome = 52
Since we want to determine the probability that the card you select is not a heart, then;
Expected outcome = 52-13 (since there are 13 hearts)
Expected outcome = 39 (not a heart)
Substitute into the formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{probability = }\frac{39}{52} \\ \text{probability = }\frac{3\cdot13}{4\cdot13} \\ \text{probability }=\text{ }\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the probability that the card selected is not a heart is 3/4
