One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards , each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn. Find the probability that the card drawn is neither a spade nor a king. Correct Answer 9\/13

There are 13 spades ( including one king). Besides there are 3 more kings in remaining 3 suits

 

Thus   n(E) = 13 + 3 = 16

 

Hence nE¯=52-16=36 

  

Therefore, PE=3652=913
