Answer:

[tex]0.72[/tex]

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the probability that the top card is not a heart card

Mathematically, the sum of the probability that an event will occur and that the event will not occur is 1

Let the event that a heart card is the top card be H

[tex]P(H)\text{ + P(H') = 1}[/tex]

We already have P(H) as 0.28

Thus:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.28\text{ + P(H') = 1} \\ P(H^{\prime})\text{ = 1-0.28} \\ P(H^{\prime})\text{ = 0.72} \end{gathered}[/tex]
