Card Probability

Question

probability of drawing a red card or a club from a standard deck of cards

Answer 1

There are 52 cards in a deck with 4 suits, right? Clubs and spades are black and hearts and daimonds are red, meaning half the cards are red and 1/4 of the cards are clubs.

"Or" means to add.

1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

Answer 2

Probability of red card: 26/52

Probability of a club: 13/52

Since the question is asking red card OR a club we just add the two probability

probability of drawing a red card or a club: 26/52+13/52=39/52
