The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that a card drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards is neither a red card nor a queen, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Total Number of Cards**: A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. 2. **Identify the Red Cards**: In a deck, there are 26 red cards (13 hearts and 13 diamonds). 3. **Identify the Queens**: There are 4 queens in total (1 from each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). 4. **Identify the Red Queens**: Among the 4 queens, 2 are red (the queen of hearts and the queen of diamonds). 5. **Calculate the Total Number of Cards that are Red or Queens**: - Total red cards = 26 - Total queens = 4 - Red queens (which are already counted in the red cards) = 2 - Therefore, the total number of cards that are either red or queens = Total red cards + Total queens - Red queens = 26 + 4 - 2 = 28 6. **Calculate the Number of Cards that are Neither Red Nor Queens**: - Total cards = 52 - Cards that are red or queens = 28 - Therefore, the number of cards that are neither red nor queens = Total cards - Cards that are red or queens = 52 - 28 = 24 7. **Calculate the Probability**: The probability of drawing a card that is neither red nor a queen is given by the formula: \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] Thus, \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{24}{52} \] 8. **Simplify the Probability**: To simplify \(\frac{24}{52}\), we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4: \[ \frac{24 \div 4}{52 \div 4} = \frac{6}{13} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the card drawn is neither a red card nor a queen is \(\frac{6}{13}\).
