Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Let
A:selecting a heart
Total cards=52
number of hearts=13
P(A)=13/52
B:selecting a 8
number of 8=4
P(B)=4/52
A∩B:selecting a heart with 8 on it
number of hearts with 8 on it=1
P(A∩B)=1/52
A∪B:selecting a heart or a 8
We have to find P(A∪B)
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
= [tex]\dfrac{13}{52}+\dfrac{4}{52}-\dfrac{1}{52}[/tex]
=[tex]\dfrac{13+4-1}{52}[/tex]
= 16/52
= 4/13
Hence, the probability of selecting a heart or a 8 is:
4/13
