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 ?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

4/52 + 13/52 = 17/52

anonymous · Answer

is that an answer choice ?

anonymous · Answer

I wish this was multiple choice :\
