Explanation / Answer

In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are four 2's, four 4's, and 13 hearts. Of that, we have to exclude 2 of hearts and 4 of hearts to avoid double counting. So, total favorable events = 4 + 4 + 13 - 2 = 19 cards.

Total events = 52 cards.

P(selecting 2 or 4 or a heart) = 19/52 = 0.37 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
