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.
