The probability of two events that are not mutually exclusive may be calculated using the formula

P (AUB) - P (A) + P (B) - P (

A B). In other words, the probability of A and B occurring is the sum of the probabilities, minus the

probability that A and B occurred. Using this formula, calculate the probability of drawing a red card or any jack on a single

random draw from a standard 52-card deck.

Turner Compton · Answer 2

7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A and B)

P (red or jack) = P (red) + P (jack) - P (red and jack)

P (red or jack) = 26/52 + 4/52 - 2/52

P (red or jack) = 28/52

P (red or jack) = 7/13
