Question

Denelle draws one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. Determine the probability of drawing either a two or a queen.

Answer 1

There are four queens in a deck of cards, so the probability of drawing a queen is 4/52. There is also a 4/52 chance of drawing a two. Because you can draw either a two or Queen, you add the probability of each.

4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52

8/52 can be simplified to 2/13
