what is the probability that a single card drawn from a standard deck of cards is either an 8 or a heart?

Sagot :

The probability that a single card drawn from a standard deck of cards is either an 8 or a heart is 4/13.

Probability of an event E denoted by P(E) is defined as (number of favorable outcomes )/( total number of outcomes).

For example : the probability of getting Head in  single toss of an unbiased coin.  P(H)=1/2.

According to the given question

Total number of cards in a standard deck of cards is 52.

There are 4 suit in a deck each having 13 card each.

number of 8 card in a deck = 4

Number of hearts in a deck = 13-1=12      (-1 because 8 of heart is counted before.)

number of favorable cases of getting  either an 8 or a heart is 4+12=16.

The probability of getting either an 8 or a heart is [tex]\frac{16}{52} =\frac{4}{13}[/tex].

Therefore , the probability that a single card drawn from a standard deck of cards is either an 8 or a heart is 4/13.
