If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card you select is a club or heart? (Your answer must be in the form of a reduced fraction.)

`P`(club or heart) =

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

A well shuffled deck of 52 cards has four suits- Club, heart, spade and diamond.

Each suit has 13 cards. Each card is equally likely to be selected.

The probability that a randomly selected card is a club = 1352

The probability that a randomly selected card is a heart = 1352

The probability that a randomly selected card is a club and a heart = 0 because each event is mutually exclusive.
