A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a 'two' of hearts or a 'three' of diamonds.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → \(\displaystyle\frac{1}{26}\)
A pack has only one two of hearts and one three of diamonds, and one card cannot be both, so the favourable outcomes are added.
Favourable cards: 1 + 1 = 2
Probability \(=\displaystyle\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}\)
