You draw one card at random from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. The deck has four 13−card suits (diamonds, hearts, clubs, spades). The card is a club or a spade.
Find the probability of this event. Write each answer as a fraction in simplest form, as a decimal, and as a percent.
13+13=26
Is it 26/52 simplified = 1/2, 0.5, 50%

Yes, you are correct. To find the probability of drawing a club or a spade from a deck of 52 cards, you first need to determine the total number of cards that are clubs or spades.
There are 13 clubs and 13 spades in a deck, so the total number of cards that meet the criteria is 13 + 13 = 26.
The probability is calculated by dividing the favorable outcomes (number of cards that are clubs or spades) by the total possible outcomes (number of cards in the deck).
Therefore, the probability is 26/52, which can be simplified to 1/2.
Expressing this as a decimal, 1/2 is equivalent to 0.5.
To convert the decimal to a percent, you simply multiply it by 100. So, 0.5 × 100 = 50%.
Hence, the probability of drawing a club or a spade is 1/2, 0.5, or 50%.
