Question

A card is drawn from a pack of well - shuffled 52 playing cards . Find the probability that the card drawn is 

(iv) an ace or a queen

Answer 1

There are 52 playing cards in a pack. 

Number of ace cards=4 and number of queens=4 

P(drawing an ace or a queen)= `"Favourable outcomes"/"Total outcomes"` = `4/52 + 4/52` = `1/13` + `1/13` = `2/13`
