Question

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?

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a heart suit or a face card is
`48`%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards in a deck of cards
`= 52`

Number of face cards including (4 Kings, 4 Queens and 4 Jacks)
`= 12`

Number of heart cards
`= 13`

It is case of "OR" probability.

So,

Probability of selecting a Face or heart card
`=`Probability of selecting a face card
`+`Probability of selecting a heart card

`(13)/(52) + (12)/(52) \\= (25)/(52) \\= 0.48`

The probability of selecting a heart suit or a face card is
`48`%
