KnowledgeBoat · Accepted 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.
