a. a or a
b. a card or an
There are cards in a standard deck.
These cards have suits: spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs
a. a or a
we're asked to draw a card at random and find the probability of drawing either or a diamond
With probability, we look at the fraction of ways we can achieve some condition (the numerator) over the number of ways we can do something (the denominator).
Our denominator here is - the number of cards from which we can pull.
Our numerator is both all the diamonds, cards, and all the , cards, but we need to subtract to account for the double counting of the of diamonds.
In all we get:
≈ or %
b.
the probability of drawing a face card or an ace in a single draw is which is %
