Explanation

There are 52 cards, 13 of which are hearts. The number of cards that are not hearts is 52 - 13 = 39. The probability is 39/52 = 3/4.

AI explanation

A standard deck contains 52 cards, and 13 of them are hearts, leaving 39 cards that are not hearts. The probability is the number of non-heart cards divided by the total cards, written as 39/52. This fraction simplifies directly to 3/4.
