Answer
A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards.
Total number of outcomes = 52
There are 4 kings and 4 queens in a standard deck.
∴ Total number of kings and queens = 4 + 4 = 8.
∴ Number of cards that are neither a king nor a queen = 52 - 8 = 44.
Let E be the event of drawing a card which is neither a king nor a queen, then
The number of favorable outcomes to the event E = 44
∴ P(E) =
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
