Given

What is the probability of drawing a diamond or a spade card from a standard deck of cards and rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

Solution

Number of diamond 13

Number of spade 13

Total deck is 52

Total outcome of a die 6


\text{Probability =}\frac{Possible\text{ outcome}}{\text{Total outcome}}

The probability of drawing a diamond or a spade card from a standard deck of cards


(13)/(52)+(13)/(52)=(26)/(52)=(1)/(2)

The probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die


(1)/(6)

Finally

The probability of drawing a diamond or a spade card from a standard deck of cards and rolling a 2 on a six-sided die


(1)/(2)*(1)/(6)=(1)/(12)

The final answer


(1)/(12)=0.08333
