A fair die is rolled and a card is drawn at random.
a) what is the probability that the die is even and the card is a club?
b) what is the probability that the die is even or the card is a club?
There, are 13 club cards in deck of 52 cards.
Therefore, P(club) = 13/52 = 1/4
There, are 3 even numbers when we rolled a fair die.
Therefore, P(even) = 3/6 = 1/2
a)
P(even AND club) = P(even) * P(club) = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8 = 0.125
Therefore, the probability that the die is even and the card is a club is 1/8 = 0.125
b)
P(even OR club
= P(even) + P(club) - P(even AND club)
= 1/2 + 1/4 - 1/8
= 6/8 - 1/8
= 5/8
= 0.625
Therefore, the probability that the die is even or the card is a club is, 5/8 = 0.625
