Final answer:

The probability of drawing a card of spade or a heart from a shuffled deck of playing cards is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing a card of spade or a heart from a shuffled deck of playing cards can be calculated as follows:

  1. There are 13 spade cards and 13 heart cards in a standard deck of 52 cards.
  2. Since the events of drawing a spade card and drawing a heart card are mutually exclusive, we can add their probabilities to find the probability of drawing either a spade or a heart.
  3. So the probability of drawing a card of spade or a heart is 13/52 + 13/52 = 26/52 = 1/2.
