question archive What is the probability of getting a card that isn't a heart nor an ace? I attempted to solve this problem (see below): Probability of a Heart is 13/52 Probability of an Ace is 13/52 P(A&B) = 1/16 which is (13/52 * 13/52) 13/52 + 13/52 - 1/16 = 7/16 Then 1- 7/16 = 9/16 Where did I mess up?

What is the probability of getting a card that isn't a heart nor an ace?
I attempted to solve this problem (see below):
Probability of a Heart is 13/52
Probability of an Ace is 13/52
P(A&B) = 1/16 which is (13/52 * 13/52)
13/52 + 13/52 - 1/16 = 7/16
Then 1- 7/16 = 9/16
Where did I mess up?
Probability of a Heart is 13/52
Probability of an Ace is 4/52
P(A&B) = 1/52
13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52 = 16/52
Then 1- 16/52 = 36/52
your mistake
only 4 ace in a pack
Probability of an Ace is 4/52
there is only one card that is heart and ace
P(A&B) = 1/52
