Question

If a card is drawn out from a deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of getting either a black card or a face card

Answer 1

no. of black cards =20 . no of face cards =12 favourable outcomes 20+12 = 32 . probability = 32/52 =8/13

Answer 2

Total no. of black cards = 26
Total no. of face cards = 12
But black cards already contains black face cards
So, no. of face cards except black face cards = 12-6=6
Probability of getting either a nlack card or a face card = (26+6)/52
= 32/52
= 16/26
=8/13.

Hope it helps!! :-)
