Question

Sam picked a card from a standard deck. What is the probability that Sam picked a heart or a king?

A. 1/13
B. 16/52
C. 17/52
D. 16/53

Answer 1

P(H or K)=(H+3K)/52 (there are thirteen hearts and three other kings)

P(HorK)=16/52

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart = 13

Number of king = 4

But we know that heart contains one king too.

So, to avoid double counting we have to subtract 1 from it.

so, Number of king = 3

So, Probability that Sam picked a heart or a king is given by

`(13)/(52)+(3)/(52)\\\\=(16)/(52)\\\\`

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
