To find: the probability of the union of the two events (the card is a 5 or a 2) using the formula.
Answer to Problem 35E
The probability of the card is a 5 or a 2
Explanation of Solution
Given information: One card is selected at random from a standard deck of 52 playing
cards. The given two events are the card is a 5 or a 2.
Formula Used.
If an event has n(E) equally likely outcomes and its
If A and B are events in the same sample space, then the probability of A or B occurring is given by
Calculation:
The total number of cards from a standard deck =52.
The number of 5 cards=4.
The number of 2 cards=4.
So, the probability of the card is a 5 or a 2=
