Detailed explanation-1: -P (not selecting a queen) =1−131=1312.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four queens in a deck of cards-the queen of hearts, queen of clubs, queen of diamonds and queen of spades. A standard deck of cards has 4 queens. A pinochle deck has 8 queens, 2 of each suit.
Detailed explanation-3: -P (not selecting a queen) =1−131=1312.
Detailed explanation-4: -That is probability of a cat is a queen. Now we know that there are 4 queens, so probability will be 4 out of 52 carts, and so this would be 12 pep. Did you know?
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence the probability of drawing a king or a queen = 852 = 213.
