Question 1111856: If one card is drawn from an ordinary deck of cards, what is the probability that the card will be an ace, a king of hearts, or a spade?

There are four aces, one king of hearts, and 13 spades. But one of the aces is also a spade, so you can't count it twice.

So there are 52 cards in all, and the number of "good" cards is 4+1+12 = 17.

So the probability is 17/52.
