Question

what is the probability of pulling at least 1 ace from a 52 card deck

Answer 1

what do you mean by 'at least'. are you drawing 5 cards?

Answer 2

oh sorry im pulling 3

Answer 3

ok. We can solve this using the complement method.
P ( at least one ace in three draws ) = 1 - P( no ace in three draws )

Answer 4

how many 'non ace' cards are there?

Answer 5

$$
\Large {
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
\\ \therefore \\
P(A) = 1 - P(A~' )
}
$$
