Jenelle draws one from a standard deck of 52 cards.
Determine the probability of drawing either a king or a ten?
Write your answer as a reduced fraction.
There are 4 kings and 4 tens in a standard deck of 52 cards. Since there are no cards that are both a king and a ten, we can simply add the probabilities of drawing a king and drawing a ten.
The probability of drawing a king is 4/52 because there are 4 kings out of a total of 52 cards.
The probability of drawing a ten is also 4/52 because there are 4 tens out of a total of 52 cards.
Therefore, the probability of drawing either a king or a ten is (4/52) + (4/52) = 8/52.
This fraction can be reduced. The greatest common divisor of 8 and 52 is 4.
So, the reduced fraction is (8/4) / (52/4) = 2/13.
Therefore, the probability of drawing either a king or a ten is 2/13.
