Question

One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Find the probability of getting a queen or jack card.

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{1}{26}$
• C. $\frac{3}{13}$
• D. $\frac{2}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{13}$

Total number of cards in a deck $=52$

Total number of queen cards is $4$ out of $52$ cards.

Total number of jack cards is $4$ out of $52$ cards

Number of favourable outcomes i.e. a queen or a jack is $4+4=8$ out of $52$ cards

$P$ (getting a queen or jack card) $=$ $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total possible outcomes}}$

$=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}$
