Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting a queen or club from a deck of cards = 17/52

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with computing the probability of randomly selecting a queen or club form a deck of cards

Mathematically, the probability is;

Probability of selecting a queen + Probability of selecting a club

Probability of selecting a queen = number of queens/total card number

The number of queens = 4

Probability of selecting a queen = 4/52

Probability of selecting a club card = number of club cards/ total number of cards

Number of club cards = 13

Probability of selecting a club card = 13/52

The probability of selecting a queen or club from a deck of cards = 4/52 + 13/52 = 17/52
