if the probability of pulling a four of hearts from a randomly shuffled deck is 1 / 52, and the probability of pulling a spade from a randomly shuffled deck are 1 / 4, then the probability of pulling a spade or a four of hearts from a randomly shuffled deck is:

Respuesta :

The probability of pulling a spade or a four of hearts is 0.264 .

we have , from a deck of cards

probability of pulling a spade = 1/4 = 13/52

probability of not pulling a spade 3/4 = 39/52

probability of pulling a 4 of hearts = 1/52

probability of not pulling a spade = 51/52

we have to find the probability of pulling a spade or a four of hearts from a random shuffled deck

So we can get three cases :

case  A :

getting a spade and not getting four of hearts

∴ P (A) = [tex](\frac{13}{52} ) (\frac{51}{52} )[/tex] = 663/2704

case  B :

not getting a spade and getting four of hearts

P(B) = [tex](\frac{39}{52}) (\frac{1}{52} )[/tex]  =  39/2704

case  C :

getting a spade and getting four of hearts

P(C) = [tex](\frac{13}{52})(\frac{1}{52} )[/tex] = 13/2704

therefore , the required probability will become

P = P(A) +P(B) + P(C)

P = 715/ 2704

P = 0.264
