You can put this solution on YOUR website! a card is picked from each of four 52-card decks of cards. what is the probability of selecting at least 1 card larger than an 8?
----
"Larger than 8" is an ambiguous instruction.
I'll assume that means 9,10,J,Q,K,A
----
Then you have a Binomial Problem with n = 4 and p = 6/52
---
P(at least 1 card > 8)
= 1 - P(no card > 8)
= 1 - (46/62)^4
= 0.3876
