If a card is picked at random from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability of getting a spade or a king?

There are 13 spades in a deck, so the probability is 1/4. There are 4 King’s in the deck, but a king can also be a spade, so what would be 1/13 is actually 3/52. So add the probabilities together, and you get 13/52 + 3/52 = 16/52, or 4/13
