Question

A card is randomly selected from a standard deck. What is the probability that a club or a red queen is selected?


a 1/26

b 14/52

c 15/52

d 17/52

Answer 1

There are 13 clubs in the deck.
Of the queens in the deck, 2 are red.
Prob(Club or red queen) = 15/52

Answer 2

probability of a club, A, K, Q, J, 2, 3, 4,....10, would be 13/52
probability of a red queen, diamond or heart, would be 2/52
therefore 13/52 + 2/52 = 15/52
on "or" probability problems, one adds the two probabilities together

Answer 3

thanks! both of u!!
