to determine the probability of drawing a card below a 5 (not including an Ace) from a standard deck of playing cards, you need to count the number of cards that meet the criteria and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
In a standard deck:
- There are four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades).
- Each suit has cards numbered 2 through 10.
- So, there are 9 cards below 5 in each suit.
Now, calculate the total number of cards below 5 (not including an Ace) in the entire deck:
9 cards/suit * 4 suits = 36 cards
The total number of cards in the deck is 52.
So, the probability of drawing a card below 5 (not including an Ace) is:
3652
52
36
, which can be simplified to 913
13
9
.
Therefore, the statement "3/13 Drawing a card below a 5 (not including an Ace)" is False. The correct probability is 9/13.
