A card is drawn from a standard deck of cards. Determine whether the events are mutually exclusive or inclusive. Then, find the probability:
P(a red card or a queen)

anonymous · Answer

if A = the event the card is red, and B =  the event the card is a queen, then they are NOT mutually exclusive, because $A\cap B$ is not empty

anonymous · Answer

there are red queens.  in fact there are two of them 
$\diamondsuit$Q and $\heartsuit$Q

anonymous · Answer

thank you! So would it be inclusive, 17/52? or would it be 4/13?

anonymous · Answer

as for the second part, we can count how many cards are red or queens, then divide the total by 52

anonymous · Answer

neither of those

anonymous · Answer

52 cards in a deck. 4 queens and 4 jacks. Total = 8

Probability = 8/52
