Probability is finding the chance that some specific outcome will occur. In this case, we are looking for the probability of one of two outcomes.
Equally Likely Outcomes
When drawing a card from a well-shuffled deck, all outcomes (cards) are equally likely to be drawn. Each card was a 1/52 probability of occurring.
Probability of Two Outcomes
In a deck of cards, there are 4 cards of each number. This means that the probability of drawing a 2 is 4/52, the same for a queen.
So, to find the probability of one of the two desired outcomes is equal to adding the probabilities together.
This fraction can then be simplified further:
