A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a face card or a 4?
Face cards are Jack, Queen, and King. There are 4 of each or 12 total. There are 4 fours in a deck. So, there are 12+4=16 cards in a deck that are face cards or a 4. The probability of that happening = 16/52 = highlight%284%2F13%29.
