Question

a card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Find probability that the card is an ace or heart

Answer 1

30.77%.

Explanation:

1. Determine the total size of the sample.

In this case, the sample is the entire deck of cards, hence, the size of this sample is 52.

2. Find the count of cards that meet the requirements.

In this case, we're looking for the probability of finding an ace or a card of hearts by picking randomly from the deck. There are 4 aces in any complete deck of cards. Also, there are 13 heart cards in a deck, but since one of them is an ace, and it is already counted as an ace, we could say there are only 12 for our experiment.

Hence, the probability of picking an ace or a heart card from the deck is:

`P=(4+12)/(52)=(16)/(52) =(4)/(13)= 0.3077`

3. Conclude.

There is a 30.77% chance that card picked at random from a deck of 52 cards is either an ace or a heart card.
