Drawing a Card If one card is drawn from a deck, find the probability of getting these results. A. A queen B. A club C. A queen of clubs D. A 3 or an 8 E. A 6 or a spade For letter E you must consider the overlap, as both a 6 and a spade can occur at once. However, the prompt is only asking for a 6 OR a spade. Also, remember that there are 52 cards in a deck, and 13 of each suit. There are four suits.
