Answer 1

Given:

One card is randomly selected from a deck of 52 playing cards.

To find:

The probability of getting a picture or club card.

Step-by-step solution:

Number of picture cards in a deck of 52 cards: 12

Number of club cards in a deck of 52 cards: 13

Total cards in a deck of 52 cards: 52

We want the total of picture cards and club cards, also we need to remove the common cards (3 pictured club cards).

favorable cards = 12 + 13 - 3

favorable cards = 22

`\begin{gathered} probability=\frac{favorable\text{ cards}}{total\text{ cards}} \\ \\ probability=(22)/(52) \\ \\ probability=(11)/(26) \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

11/26
