One card is drawn from a pack of 52. The probability that it is neither a king nor a queen is:
A12/13 of draws
B10/13 of draws
C11/13 of draws
D44/45 of draws
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 11/13 of draws
1. Kings and queens together make 4 + 4 = 8 cards.
2. P(king or queen) = 8/52 = 2/13.
3. P(neither) = 1 - 2/13 = 11/13.
