There are 52 cards in a standard deck of playing cards, with 13 cards in each suit.
1. The probability of drawing a heart is 13/52 or 1/4 since there are 13 hearts in the deck.
2. The probability of drawing the queen of spades is 1/52 since there is only one queen of spades in the deck.
Since we want to know the probability of drawing either a heart or the queen of spades, we simply add the individual probabilities together:
1/4 + 1/52 = 13/52 + 1/52 = 14/52 = 7/26
Therefore, the probability of drawing either a heart or the queen of spades from a standard deck of playing cards is 7/26 or approximately 0.27.
