Answer

Probability of not dealt a picture card = $\frac{10}{13}$

Work Step by Step

Total number of cards or outcomes = 52 Probability = $\frac{Total outcomes}{favorable outcomes}$ For finding probability of dealt a picture card, favorable outcomes = 12 Probability of dealt a picture card = $\frac{12}{52}$ = $\frac{3}{13}$ Probability of not dealt a picture card = 1 - $\frac{3}{13}$ = $\frac{10}{13}$
