Question

Suppose you draw a card from a​ well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a 5 or a queen?

Answer 1

a 5 or a queen

52 cards per deck
each card repeats 4 times

a 5 or a queen
there are four 5's and four queens
4+4=8

probablity=desiredoutcomes/totalpossible
probablity=8/52
probablity=4/26
probablity=2/13

Answer 2

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.1538 = 15.38% probability of drawing a 5 or a queen.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, hence:

$p = \frac{D}{T}$

In this problem:

• In a standard deck, there are four 5s and also four queens, hence $D = 4 + 4 = 8$.
• In total, there are 52 cards, hence $T = 52$

The probability is:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{8}{52} = 0.1538$

0.1538 = 15.38% probability of drawing a 5 or a queen.
