What is the probability of drawing a black card or a card with a letter?

Standard deck of 52

A:

4/12

1/2

21/26

17/26

17/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob (Drawing a black card) = 26/52 = 1/2.

Prob (Drawing a card with a letter)

= Prob (Ace, King, Queen or Jack of either Hearts or Diamonds)

= 8/52.

So the required probability = 26/52 + 8/52

= 34/52

= 17/26.
