Answer:
Probability of drawing a 7 or an 8 is [tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of cards in the given deck = 52
Now, the number of 7 in the deck = 4
Also, the number of 8 in the deck = 4
So, the total number of ( 7 + 8) in the deck = 4 + 4 = 8 cards
Let E: Event of picking a 7 or an 8
Here, the total number of favorable outcomes = 8
Now, [tex]\textrm{P(E) } = \frac{\textrm{Number of outcomes favorable to E }}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]
So, here [tex]\textrm{P(Picking a 7 or 8) } = \frac{\textrm{8 }}{\textrm{52}} = \frac{2}{13}[/tex]
or, P(Picking a 7 or 8) = 2/13
Hence, The probability of drawing a 7 or an 8 is [tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex]
