Step 1 :A standard deck of 52 cards contains 4 sevens and 12 face cards (the Jacks, Queens, and Kings of each suit). Therefore, there are 52 - 12 = 40 cards that are not face cards.
Step 2 :The event A in this case is drawing a card that is not a face card, and the event B is drawing a seven. We are looking for the probability of B given A, or P(B|A).
Step 3 :According to the formula, this is equal to the number of outcomes where both A and B occur divided by the number of outcomes where A occurs.
Step 4 :Both A and B occur when a seven that is not a face card is drawn. Since sevens are not face cards, there are 4 such outcomes.
Step 5 :A occurs when any card that is not a face card is drawn, which is 40 outcomes.
Step 6 :Therefore, the probability we are looking for is \(\frac{4}{40}\) or \(\frac{1}{10}\).
Step 7 :Final Answer: The probability P(seven|not a face card) is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}\).
