The complement is choosing anything but a 6, and the chance is 12/13 (that is, all chances minus that we want to complement, or 1-1/13)

The complement of choosing a 6 from a deck of cards is choosing a card that is not a 6. The probability of this complement is 13 12 ​ . Therefore, there is a very high chance of drawing a card that is not a 6.
