Find the probability of this event if one of these cards is drawn at random.

Not selecting an S.

Cards: S, U, M, M, E, R

There are 6 cards. If only 1 of them is an "S," then there is a 5/6 chance of obtaining a card that isn't a "S."

The probability of not selecting a card marked with an 'S' from the set of cards spelling 'SUMMER' is 5/6, as there is only one 'S' among the six cards.
The question pertains to finding the probability of drawing a card that is not marked with an 'S' from a group spelling out the word 'SUMMER'. Since there are 6 cards and only one of them is an 'S', there are 5 cards that are not an 'S'. Therefore, the probability of drawing a card that is not an 'S' is the number of non-'S' cards divided by the total number of cards. The calculation is as follows:

Total number of cards = 6
Number of non-'S' cards = 5
Probability (not selecting an 'S') = Number of non-'S' cards / Total number of cards = 5/6

The probability of not selecting an 'S' is therefore 5/6.

The probability of not selecting a card marked with an 'S' from the cards S, U, M, M, E, R is 6 5 ​ . This is calculated by finding the number of non-'S' cards (5) and dividing by the total number of cards (6). Therefore, P ( not selecting S ) = 6 5 ​ .
