Answer:

There are 4 queens in a pack of 52 cards, and there are also 13 diamonds and 26 black cards (13 clubs and 13 spades).

To find the probability of getting a queen or a diamond or a black card, we need to add the probabilities of each event happening and subtract the probability of getting a card that is both a queen and a diamond (the queen of diamonds).

Probability of getting a queen = 4/52 = 1/13

Probability of getting a diamond = 13/52 = 1/4

Probability of getting a black card = 26/52 = 1/2

Probability of getting the queen of diamonds = 1/52

So, the probability of getting a queen or a diamond or a black card is:

(1/13) + (1/4) + (1/2) - (1/52) = 51/52 or approximately 0.98

Therefore, the probability of getting a queen or a diamond or a black card is approximately 0.98.
