Description
This example involves a deck of 52 playing cards and includes a formula for solving the probability problem. Students calculate the probability of selecting two cards that are aces or spades. Since these events are not mutually exclusive (one ace is also a spade), they must adjust their calculations accordingly. This exercise highlights the need to consider overlapping events in probability calculations. Visual aids provide clarity and reinforce learning through practical application.
