Question

if one card is drawn from a standard 52 card playing deck, determine the probability of getting a ten, a king or a diamond.

Answer 1

To find the answer:

The probability of getting a ten:

=4/52

The probability of getting a king:

=4/52

The probability of getting a diamond:

=52×1/4
=13/52

However,there would be king and ten of diamond which overlapped and therefore -2/52 would be in the equation.

We can then sum up to find the equation:

=4/52+4/52+13/52-2/52
=21/52-2/52
=19/52

Therefore the answer is 19/52.

Hope it helps!
