One card is selected at random from a deck of cards. Determine the probability of selecting a card that is less than 5 or a Club. Note that the ace is considered a low card.The probability that the card selected is less than 5 or a club is.(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Respuesta :

The total number of cards in a deck of cards is: 52

The total number of club cards is: 13

The total number of cards that less than 5 is: 8.

The probability of selecting a club card is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(Club)=\frac{Total\text{ number of club cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} \\ =\frac{13}{52} \\ =\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The probability of selecting a card that is less than five is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(card<5)=\frac{8}{52} \\ =\frac{2}{13} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The total number of club card that is less than 5 is 3.

The probability of selecting a club card and a card that is less than 5 is,

[tex]P\text{ (club and less than 5)}=\frac{3}{52}[/tex]

The probability of selecting a card that is a club or less than 5 is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} P\text{ (Club or less than5)}=P(Club)+P\text{(card less than 5)-P(Club and less than 5)} \\ =\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{13}-\frac{3}{52} \\ =\frac{21}{52}-\frac{3}{52} \\ =\frac{9}{26} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the probability of selecting a club card or card that is less than 5 is 9/26.
