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. |
$\frac{2}{13}$ $\frac{5}{13}$ $\frac{1}{26}$ $\frac{5}{26}$ |
$\frac{1}{26}$ |
Total Cards = 52 probability of getting a 2 of hearts = 1/52 probability of getting a 3 of diamonds = 1/52 Since this is a case of "or" adding both probability of getting a 2 of hearts or a 3 of diamonds =1/52 + 1/52 = 2/52 The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{1}{26}$ |
