<PRE><B>Question 369892</B>
&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;There are 52 cards. &lt;br&gt;

There are 4 Queens.&lt;br&gt;

There are 13 Spades, however one of the Spades is a Queen!&lt;br&gt;

So number of Queens + number of Spades - number of Queens which are Spades is&lt;br&gt; 

{{{4+13-1=16}}}&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;So the probability that you select a Queen or a Spade is 16/52 or 4/13&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This is approximately 0.308&lt;br&gt;

So you would have a 30.8% chance of pulling a Queen or a Spade from a standard deck of cards.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
