Question

Find the probability of drawing either a Queen or a Heart from a standard deck of cards.

A) 0
B)17/52
C) 1/4
D)4/13

Answer 1

17/52 (Answer B)

Explanation:

There are four queens and 13 hearts. The probability of drawing a Queen is thus 4/52 (= 1/13); that of drawing a Heart is 13/52 (= 1/4).

The probability of drawing either is 1/13 + 1/4, or 4/52 + 13/52, or 17/52 (Answer B)
