Question

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, in how many ways could it be a diamond or a face card (a face card is a Jack, Queen, or King)?

Answer 1

There are 13 diamonds, and 4*3=12 face cards, of which 3 are diamonds.
So total of "diamond or face card" is 13+12-3=22.
=>
Probability of drawing a diamond OR a face card from a full 52-card deck is
22/52=11/26.

Answer 2

`(11)/(26)`

Explanation:

Total number of cards in the deck = 52

Total number of face cards = 12

Total number of diamond cards = 13

Total number of diamond face card = 3

So, total number of ways become =
`12+13-3=22`

These are out of 52.

Hence, it could be a diamond or a face card =
`(22)/(52)=(11)/(26)`
