probability it is a club is 13/51
a 5 is 3/51 or 1/17
a five or a club is probability of both - conjoined probability (1/51)=(13+3-1)/51=15/51 or 5/17.
five of hearts is 0--it is missing.
five or a heart (if that is what was meant) is 3/51+(12/51), and there is no conjoined probability since the H5 is missing It is 15/51 or 5/17.
