Question

What is the probability of getting a spade or a red card?

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

1/2 the deck is red cards.

1/4 of the deck is spades.

There are no spades that are red cards, so the probability of drawing a red card or a spade at random from a well-shuffled deck is ...

1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4
