One card is randomly selected from a deck of cards. Find the odds against drawing a king. _:_

Solution

there are \'52\' cards in a deck

and it has \'4\' kings

let \'A\' be the event of selecting a king

the probability of selecting a king P(A) = 4/52

so P(A) = 4/52=1/13

this is the probability of a king

the odds against the king P(A\') = 1 - P(A)

= 1 - 1/13

=12/13
