you pick a card at random. what is p(not 6)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Count total number of cards

There are 6 cards in total.

Step2: Count number of non - 6 cards

There are 5 non - 6 cards (4, 5, 7, 8, 9).

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{not }6)=\frac{5}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$
