Question

You randomly select one card from a 52-card deckFind the probability of selecting the eight of spades or the seven of hearts

Answer 1

A N S W E R :

• A pack of 52 card deck.
• The 52 cards contains 13 spades and 13 hearts.

→ Probablity of getting the 8 spades = 1/52

→ Probablity of getting the 7 hearts = 1/52

• Both are mutually exclusive event's.

So,

⇒ Probablity of getting 7 hearts or 8 spades = Probablity of getting the 7 hearts + Probablity of getting the 8 spades

⇒ Probablity of getting 7 hearts or 8 spades = 1/52 + 1/52

⇒ Probablity of getting 7 hearts or 8 spades = 2/52

⇒ Probablity of getting 7 hearts or 8 spades = 1/26

Answer 2

Answer:

2/52

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a normal deck of cards only has one eight of spades and only one of seven of heart. So that means the probability would be 2/52. Hope you get it!
