Question 1118882: Melissa selects one card from a deck of playing cards. Determine the probability that she will select:
a. a Jack or a club. Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 13 clubs and 4 jacks. If we say there are 3 jacks that are not clubs then there are 13+3 = 16 cards that meet the requirement, and the probability of selecting one of them is 16/52 =
——
As an alternative approach, apply P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
P(club) = 13/52
P(jack) = 4/52 and
P(jack ∩ club) = 1/52
P(jack or club) =
