Q. You pick a card at random.\newline345345\newlineWhat is P(4 or odd)P(4 \text{ or odd})?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or whole number.\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify total number of cards: Identify the total number of cards and the specific cards of interest.\newlineThere are 5252 cards in a standard deck. The cards that are 44s are: 44 of hearts, 44 of diamonds, 44 of clubs, and 44 of spades, making 44 cards. Odd numbered cards are the aces (11s), 33s, 55s, 4400s, and 4411s in each suit, which totals 4422 cards.
  2. Calculate favorable outcomes: Calculate the total number of favorable outcomes.\newlineSince the 44s are also part of the odd cards (specifically the 44 of hearts and 44 of diamonds), we need to avoid double-counting. There are 22 odd 44s and 22 even 44s, adding 22 more odd cards to the 2020 already counted gives 2222 favorable outcomes.
