When a card is randomly selected from 52 cards, we have the sample space S to have n(S) = 52

There are 4 aces and 4 jacks in 52 cards. Since the desired event E is to have one ace or one jack we have n(E) = 8

Therefore the probability of drawing an ace or a jack is = n(E)/n(S) = 8/52 = 2/13.

hope this helps you ..
