Question

An experiment consists of selecting a card at random from a 52 card deck. Find the probability of the event that a spade or a queen is drawn. Give the answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

OR means ADD
And means MULTIPLY
so in this case you add the probabilities
There are 4 queens in a deck so that is = 4/52
There are 13 spades = 13/52
can you do it from there ?

Answer 2

once you have the answer though, do you put the two together?

Answer 3

4/52 + 13/52 = 17/52

Answer 4

is that an answer choice ?

Answer 5

I wish this was multiple choice :\
