Given:
A single card is drawn from a standard 52 card deck
Determine the probability that the card drawn is neither a jack nor a club.
Solution:
Since there are 3 jacks excluding the jack of clubs and 13 clubs, we can subtract 16 by 54, and divide the difference by 54 in order to get the probability.
= 54 -16
=38
= 38/54
= 0.703
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.703)(100)
= 70.3%
Final answer:
The probability of drawing neither a jack nor a club is 70.3%
