I feel like the answer is e but im not exactly sure

anonymous · Answer

Add all of your cards together and divide.

anonymous · Answer

So 64 cards total and I divide that by the number of hearts, which is 13 and the total number of face cards which is 12?

cwrw238 · Answer

probability of a heart = 13/52 and probability of a face card = 12/52

cwrw238 · Answer

how did you get 64 total cards?

cwrw238 · Answer

I thought a face card is a king, queen or Jack

anonymous · Answer

Ohh wait i added the total amount of face down cards as well

cwrw238 · Answer

wait 3 of the face cards are hearts so P(hearts) = 13/52 and P(FaceCard)=9/52

cwrw238 · Answer

now you have to find P(Heart or Face Card)

anonymous · Answer

oh my gosh, probability is so confusing =(( So instead of 13/52+12/52, which equals .48 I would do 13/52+9/52=.42?

yes
