What is the probability of drawing a king or a heart from a deck of cards ?
Probability of A or B = Probability of A + Probability of B - Probability of A and B.
$$\Rightarrow$$ Probability of drawing king or heart = Probability of drawing king + Probability of drawing heart - Probability of drawing kings which are hearts from the deck of cards.
A deck of cards contain 52 cards, of which there are 4 kings and 13 hearts and 1 king which is heart also.
Probability of drawing a king = $$\frac{4}{52}$$
Probability of drawing a heart = $$\frac{13}{52}$$
Probability of drawing a king which are heart also = $$\frac{1}{52}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Probability of drawing king or heart = $$\frac{4}{52} + \frac{13}{52} - \frac{1}{52}$$
= $$\frac{16}{52}$$
= $$\frac{4}{13}$$
