One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards , each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn. Find the probability that the card drawn is neither a spade nor a king.

Correct Answer: 9/13

Explanation:

There are 13 spades ( including one king). Besides there are 3 more kings in remaining 3 suits


 


Thus   n(E) = 13 + 3 = 16


 


Hence  n E ¯ = 52 - 16 = 36  


  


Therefore,  P E = 36 52 = 9 13
