If a card is chosen from a standard deck of cards, what is the probability of getting a diamond (♦) or a club (♣)?
Correct answer: A. 26/52=1/2
- A. 26/52=1/2
- B. 13/52
- C. 20/52
- D. 12/52
Explanation
A standard deck has 13 diamonds and 13 clubs, and these suits do not overlap. Therefore there are 26 favourable cards out of 52, giving 26/52=1/2.
