You randomly draw two cards from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards. You replace the first card. What is the probability that you drew a king or a club? Explain your steps or attach a screenshot of your work.

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mangaartist Im gonna be honest, im trash at these kinda things. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) lol sameeeee! Lol I totally understand, It's fine. lol

Mangaartist:

kk cool

Aqual:

ok, so there are 4 kings and 13 clubs which means one king is a club so your cards to draw are 16 cards that are either clubs or kings

Aqual:

so divide 16 by 52

Aqual:

thatll give you the probability of the first card being it

MiraAngel:

oh! So is that all there is to the problem? I was kinda nervous, I thought there was a lot more to it than that. lol

Aqual:

hold on

MiraAngel:

kk

Aqual:

so now you pull a card and there are 51 cards with 15-16 clubs/kings

Aqual:

@dude

Aqual:

MiraAngel:

@Shadow

Shadow:

Google, how many clubs in a deck then how many kings in a deck. Let add them both, and then you have the probability of getting a club or a king. There are 52 cards in a deck, and x probability of getting a club or king. After the first try, the card is replaced, so there are 52 cards for both tries. Do x/52 times x/52 to get the probability of getting a club or king within two tries.

MiraAngel:

16/52 * 16/52?

Shadow:

Says there are 13 clubs in a deck and 4 kings.

Shadow:

Oh I realize what you did, good. I don't play cards so I'm just thinking of this too literally. But yes, one of the kings will be a club so you can excommunicate that guy and keep it at 16.

MiraAngel:

Great! Thank youuuuuuuuu!

Shadow:

You're welcome
