Calculate the probability of selecting a heart or a face card from a standard deck of cards. Is this outcome more or less likely than selecting a heart suit face card?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability of selecting a heart suit or a face card is [tex]48[/tex]%

Explanation:

Total number of cards in a deck of cards [tex]= 52[/tex]

Number of face cards including (4 Kings, 4 Queens and 4 Jacks) [tex]= 12[/tex]

Number of heart cards [tex]= 13[/tex]

It is case of "OR" probability.

So,

Probability of selecting a Face or heart card [tex]=[/tex]Probability of selecting a face card [tex]+[/tex]Probability of selecting a heart card

[tex]\frac{13}{52} + \frac{12}{52} \\= \frac{25}{52} \\= 0.48[/tex]

The probability of selecting a heart suit or a face card is [tex]48[/tex]%
