B Correct answer
Explanation

There are 4 aces in a deck of 52 cards. The probability of picking an ace is 4/52 = 1/13. The probability of not picking an ace is 1 - 1/13 = 12/13.

AI explanation

A standard deck contains 52 cards, of which 4 are aces. The number of cards that are not aces is 52 minus 4, giving 48 non-ace cards. The probability of drawing a non-ace card is 48 out of 52, which simplifies to 12/13. The result is 12/13.
