Cards are selected from a standard deck of 52, the results are recorded in the table. what is the empirical probability of not selecting a heart? express as a fraction

The table have the following results:

Hearts – 7

Diamonds – 4

Clubs – 8

Spades – 5

There is a total of 24

The question is asking for the probability of not selecting a heart.

So we need to add the probabilities of the diamonds, clubs, and spades since these suits are different from hearts.

So = 4 + 8 + 5 = 17

And we have a total of 24 cards

Therefore the probability is 17/24. 

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6
