Question 1095410: If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card youselect is not a diamond?
Write your answer as a simplified fraction. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20059) (Show Source):
39 of the 52 cards are non-diamonds.
So the probability is 39 ways out of 52 ways or 39/52 which
reduces to 3/4.
You can also think of it simply as 4 suits, each one equally likely,
to draw, and 3 of the 4 suits are not diamonds. So the probability
is 3/4.
