Explanation / Answer

50) A single card is drawn from a deck of cards= 1/52

a) Number of spade= 13

Number of Queen= 4

Number of spade and queen= 1

P( S or Q) = P(S) + P(Q) - P(S & Q)= 13 / 52 + 4/ 52 - 1/ 52 = 16/52= 0.307692

b) The total number of possible events by Spade or Queen are 16 and probability of Spade or Queen occuring event= 0.307692.
