Final answer:

The probability of getting a club or a club and a 5 is 7/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of getting a club or a club and a 5, we need to determine the total number of outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.

There are 52 cards in a deck and 13 of them are clubs. So the probability of getting a club is 13/52 or 1/4.

Now, to find the probability of getting a club and a 5, we need to count the number of cards that are both clubs and 5. There is only one card that satisfies this condition, which is the 5 of clubs.

Therefore, the probability of getting a club and a 5 is 1/52.

Finally, to find the probability of getting a club or a club and a 5, we add the two probabilities:

1/4 + 1/52 = 14/52 = 7/26.
