The Deep Dive
In a 62-card deck, there are 13 clubs and 12 picture cards (3 picture cards: King, Queen, and Jack in each of the 4 suits, totaling 12). However, one of those picture cards, the King of Clubs, is counted in both groups. Therefore, to find the total number of favorable outcomes, we add together the clubs and picture cards, then subtract the overlap: Total = 13 (clubs) + 12 (picture cards) - 1 (King of Clubs) = 24. Now, the probability of drawing a club or a picture card is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of cards in the deck: \[ P(\text{Club or Picture Card}) = \frac{24}{62} = \frac{12}{31} \] So, the probability is \( \frac{12}{31} \).
