Answer:

The probability of choosing a heart and not a club is

P =  0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 13 hearts in a deck of 52 cards. The probability that the chosen card will be a heart is given by

Probability = favorable outcome/ Total number of outcomes

P= 13/52= 1/4

There are 13 clubs in a deck of 52 cards.

The probability of not choosing a club would be

P = 52-13/52= 39/52= 3/4

So the  combined probability of choosing a heart and not a club is

P = 1/4 * 3/4= 0.25 * 0.75= 0.1875
