A card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that it is either a heart or a king?

Hint
The king of hearts belongs to both groups and must not be counted twice.

Answer

4/13.

Explanation

There are 13 hearts and 4 kings, with one overlap: the king of hearts. Favorable cards = 13 + 4 - 1 = 16. Probability = 16/52 = 4/13.

Step-by-Step Solution

Favorable = 13 + 4 - 1 = 16.
Probability = 16/52 = 4/13.
