Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing an ace or a 6?A. 213B. 726C. 132D. 652

Answer 1

`A\text{ : }(2)/(13)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the probability of drawing an ace or a 6 from a deck of 52 cards

There are 4 suites in a deck and each deck has a 6. Thus, there are 4 6s

Each suite has an ace and thus, there are 4 aces

The probability of drawing a specific item is the number of items divided by the total number of items

The probability of drawing an ace will be:

`(4)/(52)`

The probability of drawing a 6 will be:

`(4)/(52)`

Now,the probability of drawing an ace or a 6 will be the sum of these two

Mathematically, we have this as:

`(4)/(52)+\text{ }(4)/(52)\text{ }=\text{ }(8)/(52)\text{ = }(2)/(13)`
