Explanation

A deck has 52 cards. There is only one ace of hearts. The number of cards that are not the ace of hearts is 52 - 1 = 51.

AI explanation

A standard deck contains 52 cards, and exactly one of them is the ace of hearts. Since event E is drawing any card except the ace of hearts, the number of favourable outcomes is 52 minus 1. Therefore, the number of outcomes favourable to E is 51.
