Question

You are dealt one card from 52 card deck. Find the possibility that you are dealt a heart or a picture card

Answer 1

11/26

Explanation:

Since we have 13 heart card then

p(heart) = 13/52

Since we have 12 picture card then

p(picture) = 12/52

Since we have 3 heart and picture (at the same time) card then

p(heart∩picture) = 3/52

finally,

the possibility that you are dealt a heart or a picture card = p(heart or picture)

p(heart or picture) = 13/52 + 12/52 - 3/52 = 22/52
