Answer:

Hey there!

There are 13 clubs in a deck of cards.

There are 4 tens.

However, the tens overlap with the clubs, so there are 16 cards to choose.

16/52=4/13

Let me know if this helps :)

The events are mutually inclusive. Option B is correct because the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{4}{13}[/tex].

Important information:

  • A card is selected randomly from a deck of cards.
  • We need to find the probability that the card is a club or a ten.

Probability:

A deck of cards has total 52 cards, which includes 4 suits and each suit has 13 cards. If S be the sample space, then n(S) = 52.

Let A be the event that the card is a club card and B be the event that it is a ten card.

The number of club cards is 13. So, n(A) = 13.

There are 4 cards of 10. So, n(B) = 4.

One ten card is of club. So, [tex]n(A\cap B)=1[/tex].

Since [tex]n(A\cap B)=1\neq 0[/tex], therefore the events are mutually inclusive.

The number of club or a ten card is:

[tex]n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)[/tex]

[tex]n(A\cup B)=13+4-1[/tex]

[tex]n(A\cup B)=16[/tex]

Now,

[tex]P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{16}{52}[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{4}{13}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of choosing a card from a deck of cards that is a club or a ten is [tex]\dfrac{4}{13}[/tex]. Hence, option B is correct.
