Question

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, in how many ways could it be an ace or a spade?

Answer 1

there are 13 spades + 1ace each of heart diamond and club for a total of 16/52 choices or 4/13 probability

Answer 2

`(4)/(13)`

Explanation:

in a deck of card number of Aces = 4

number of spade = 13

P(getting ace or a spade) = P(ace) + P(spade) - P(ace and spade)

=
`(1)/(13) + (1)/(4) - (1)/(52)`

=
`(16)/(52)`

=
`(4)/(13)`
