Question

Jim picked a card from a standard deck. What is the probability that Jim picked a heart or an ace?

Answer 1

The answer is actually 16/52.

Explanation:

There are 13 hearts and 4 aces. However, one of the 4 aces is a heart, so there would only be 3 other aces.

13 hearts + 3 other aces = 16

There are 52 cards in a deck, so the probability would be 16/52.
