Step 1
There are four suites in a deck, each containing three picture cards.
Total number of picture cards is:
4 × 3 = 12
Number of cards in deck that are not picture cards:
52 - 12 = 40
These are the favourable outcomes.
Step 2
Probability is: favourable outcomes all possible outcomes
40 52 = 10 13
Probability = 10 13 0.769230769
