Question

a card is chosen at random from deck of 52 playing cardsthere 4 Queens and 4 Kings in a desk of playing cards.what is the probability the card chosen is a Queen or a King

Answer 1

AAnswer:

2/13.

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

Desired outcomes:

Queen or King.

There are 4 Queens and 4 Kings.

4 + 4 = 8

So the number of desired outcomes is 8.

Total outcomes:

There are 52 playing cards, which means that the number of total outcomes is 52.

Probability:

8/52

We can simplify both by 4

8/4 = 2, 52/4 = 13

So the correct answer is 2/13.
