P(S∪ Q) = (13/52)+ (4/52)- (1/52)= (16/52) = (4/13)

Q. If a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards, then the probability that it is a spade or queen is

$\frac{17}{52}$

$\frac{15}{52}$

$\frac{4}{13}$

$\frac{3}{13}$

$P (S \cup Q) = \frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13}$
