Jenelle draws one from a standard deck of 52 cards
Determine the probability of drawing either a king or a diamond?
Write your answer as a reduced fraction.
There are 4 kings in a standard deck of 52 cards. Since there is one king of each suit, we know that only 1 of these kings is also a diamond.
So, there is a total of 4 + 1 = 5 cards that are either a king or a diamond.
The probability of drawing either a king or a diamond is therefore 5/52, which is already in reduced form since 5 and 52 have no common factors other than 1.
Therefore, the probability of drawing either a king or a diamond is 5/52.
