1. **State the problem:** We want to find the probability $P(E')$ of drawing any card except the 3 of diamonds from a standard 52-card deck.
2. **Formula for probability of the complement event:**
$$P(E') = 1 - P(E)$$
where $P(E)$ is the probability of drawing the 3 of diamonds.
3. **Calculate $P(E)$:**
There is exactly one 3 of diamonds in the deck, so
$$P(E) = \frac{1}{52}$$
4. **Calculate $P(E')$:**
$$P(E') = 1 - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{52}{52} - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{51}{52}$$
5. **Interpretation:**
The probability of drawing any card except the 3 of diamonds is $\frac{51}{52}$, which is already in simplest form.
