<h3>
Answer: 8/25</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.
If this deck is missing the queen of hearts and 2 of clubs, then we really have 52-2 = 50 cards in the deck.
There are 4 aces and 13 spades. Those values add to 4+13 = 17, but we need to subtract off 1 to account for the ace of spades counted twice. We have 17-1 = 16 cards that are either an ace, a spade, or both.
Or you can think of it like saying 13 spades + 1 ace of hearts + 1 ace of diamonds + 1 ace of clubs = 16 cards total.
-----------------
The event space has A = 16 cards in it, while the sample space has B = 50 cards.
The probability we're after is A/B = 16/50 = 8/25
