Question

Suppose you draw a card from a​ well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a 10 or a jack​?

Answer 1

Answer:

15.39% or 2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 10s in a deck, and 4 jacks in a deck

4 + 4 = 8

Find probability out of total # of cards

8/52

Simplify

4/26

2/13

Find percent probability by setting equal to x/100

2/13 = x/100

200 = 13x

x = 15.39%

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

2/13

There are 4/52 cards that are jacks, but there are also 4/52 cards that are the number 10. Since there is OR, you add both probabilities.

4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52

8/52 simplified gives you 2/13
