Answer:
Probability = 2/13 ≈ 15.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for probability of drawing an ace or king from a standard deck of cards.
In a standard deck of cards, there are <em>4 ace and 4 king</em>.
4 + 4 = <u>8</u>, this is the number of possible "correct" cards you can draw, which satisfy the conditions.
Since a standard deck has <em>52 cards</em>, this is the number of cards you can draw, the "possible outcomes".
Probability is the <u>number of "correct" outcomes divided by the total possible outcomes</u>.
The probability is 8 / 52, but we need to <u>reduce the fraction</u>.
Both numerator and denominator are divisible by 4.
8 / 52 = 2 / 13
If you want the probability as a percentage, divide 2 by 13 and multiply by 100.
Probability = 2/13 ≈ 15.4%
