Suppose you draw one card from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that it is red or a club?

Solution

S u pp ose yo u d r a w o n e c a r d f ro m a s t an d a r d 52 - c a r d d ec k . Wha t i s t h e p ro babi l i t y t ha t i t i s re d or a c l u b ?

Solution

\frac{3}{4}

+1

Decimal

0.75

Solution steps

Find the probability of it is red:

\frac{1}{2}

Find the probability of a club:

\frac{1}{4}

Since the events are disjoint, Use the formula

P (X_{1} \lor X_{2} \lor \dots \lor X_{k}) = P (X_{1}) + P (X_{2}) + \dots + P (X_{k})

= \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}
