The probability of picking a heart or an ace is 17/52
Here, we want to get the probability
The number of cards in a standard deck is 52 cards
Now, we need to know the number of hearts and the number of ace
There are 13 hearts, and 4 aces
The probability of picking a heart is;
[tex]\frac{13}{52}[/tex]The probability of picking an ace is;
[tex]\frac{4}{52}[/tex]The probability of picking an ace or a heart is the sum of both which is;
[tex]\frac{4}{52}+\frac{13}{52}\text{ = }\frac{17}{52}[/tex]
