What is the probability that a card selected at random
from a standard deck of 52 cards is an ace or a heart?
Solution
number of aces =4
P( ace )=4/52
number of hearts= 13
p(heart) =13/52
number of ace that is heart
=1/52
probability that a card selected at random
from a standard deck of 52 cards is an ace or a heart
=p(ace)+p(heart) -p(ace and heart)
=4/52 +13/52 -1/52
=16/52
=4/13
