D Correct answer
Explanation

There are 4 queens in a deck of 52 cards. The probability of drawing a queen is 4/52 = 1/13. The probability of not drawing a queen is 1 - 1/13 = 12/13.

AI explanation

A standard deck has 52 cards, of which 4 are queens. The number of cards that are not queens is 52 minus 4, giving 48. The probability of drawing a non-queen card is the number of non-queen cards divided by the total cards, which is 48 divided by 52. Simplifying the fraction 48 over 52 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 gives 12 over 13.
