Number of cards in a deck = 52

The event E is that card is not an ace of hearts

We have to find the number of outcomes favourable to E

We know that

There are 13 cards of heart and 1 ace of heart

Here the number of outcomes favourable to E = 52 - 1 = 51

Therefore, the number of outcomes favourable to E is 51.
