Deck of Cards

Probability Level 1

If we remove at random one card from a deck with 52 cards, what is the probability to remove a 8 or a King?

The suits do not matter.

8 9 \frac {8}{9} 2 13 \frac {2}{13} 5 9 \frac {5}{9} 8 12 \frac {8}{12}

The probability to remove a card is: 1 13 \frac{1}{13} So the probability to remove a 8 or King card is: 2 × 1 13 = 2 13 2 \times \frac{1}{13} = \boxed{\frac{2}{13}}

Probability is 8 52 = 2 13 \dfrac{8}{52} = \color{#69047E}{\boxed{\dfrac{2}{13}}} .

We know that there are 52 card in a pack. so ; there are 13 cards of either club,or spade,or heart or the diamond and probability to remove 1 card from a pack of 52 card is 1/13 and therefore to remove a 8 or king probability is 2/13 .
