Given

we are given a deck of cards.

Required

we need to find the probability of getting a queen or spade.

Step-by-step explanation

here

number of queens in deck =4

and number of spades =13

Total number of cards in a deck is 52

Now probability of getting a queen or a spade is


(4+13)/(52)=(17)/(52)

which is the required probability.
