A card is drawn from 52. What is the probability of getting the queen of clubs or the king of hearts?

Given data

• Two specific, distinct cards: Q♣ and K♥.
• Single draw from 52 equally likely cards.

Concept/ApproachMutually exclusive events: P(Q♣ or K♥) = P(Q♣) + P(K♥).

Step-by-step calculationProbability = 1/52 + 1/52 = 1/26

Verification/AlternativeCount favourable outcomes = 2; total = 52 ⇒ 2/52 = 1/26.

Common pitfallsTreating as non-exclusive or counting all queens and all kings.

Final Answer1/26
