Question

15. (09.03) Jim picked a card from a standard deck. What is the probability that Ilm picked a heart or an ace? (1 point) OI 52 O 2 52 O 16 52 O 17 52

Answer 1

The probability of picking a heart or an ace is 17/52

Here, we want to get the probability

The number of cards in a standard deck is 52 cards

Now, we need to know the number of hearts and the number of ace

There are 13 hearts, and 4 aces

The probability of picking a heart is;

`(13)/(52)`

The probability of picking an ace is;

`(4)/(52)`

The probability of picking an ace or a heart is the sum of both which is;

`(4)/(52)+(13)/(52)\text{ = }(17)/(52)`
