Question

Determine the probability of drawing a jack of spade or a ace of diamond from a deck of 52 cards

Answer 1

there is only one jack of spades in a card deck.
so the probability  of drawing it would be 1/52
same with the ace of diamond

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards = 52

Favorable event = jack of spade = 1

So, probability of drawing a jack of spade = $\frac{\text{Favorable events}}{\text{Total events}}$

                                                                      = $\frac{1}{52}$

Now favorable event = ace of diamond = 1

So, probability of drawing an ace of diamond= $\frac{\text{Favorable events}}{\text{Total events}}$

                                                                           = $\frac{1}{52}$

So, the probability of drawing a jack of spade or a ace of diamond from a deck of 52 cards:

= $\frac{1}{52}+\frac{1}{52}$

= $\frac{2}{52}$

= $\frac{1}{26}$

Hence the probability of drawing a jack of spade or a ace of diamond from a deck of 52 cards is  $\frac{1}{26}$
