Question

    In a deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of

    drawing either a king or a heart?
    A 4/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total cards = 52. Number of kings = 4. Number of hearts = 13. Overlap (king of hearts) = 1. Favorable outcomes = 4 + 13 − 1 = 16. Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 16 / 52 = 4/13. Correct answer: a) 4/13
