  1. $\cfrac{2}{13}$
  2. $\cfrac{11}{13}$
  3. $\cfrac{4}{13}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Total cards = 52. Aces = 4, Kings = 4. Total to exclude = 8. Remaining cards = 52 - 8 = 44. Probability = 44/52 = 11/13.

AI explanation

We use the basic probability formula of favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes. A standard pack contains 52 cards, including 4 aces and 4 kings, leaving 44 cards that are neither aces nor kings. The probability is therefore 44 divided by 52, which simplifies to 11 divided by 13.
