Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a diamond or a spade.

Answer 1

Total possible outcomes = 52 

Number of favorable outcomes for a diamond or a spade = 13 + 13 = 26 

Number of favorable outcomes = 26 

P(getting a diamond or a spade) = `26/52 = 1/2`
