One card is drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. Find the probabilities of drawing an 8 or a 6

Answer 1

There are four 8s in a deck of 52 cards, and there are four 6s. So, if we draw one card, there are a total of eight cards that will be either an 8 or a 6. The probability is just 8/52, which simplifies to 2/13, or about 0.154, a little over a 15% chance.
