Question

jenelle draws one from a standard deck of 52 cards. determine the probability of drawing either a two or a king? write your answer as a reduced fraction. answer

Answer 1

2/13

Explanation:

A standard deck of cards has four suits
Therefore there are four twos, one from each suit
There are also 4 kings, one from each suit

P(two) = 4 twos/52 cards = 4/ 52 = 1/13

PKing) = 4 kings/52 cards = 1/13

P(two or king) = P(two) + P(king)
= 1/13 + 1/3

= 2/13
