Best Answer

The chance of picking a heart is 1/4 as there are four suits. The chance of picking an ace is 1/13, as there are 4 aces in a deck of 52. If I want the probability of drawing a heart of an ace, I can add these probabilities together, but I have double counted on possibility, the ace of hearts. So: Probability = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 or 4/13 Probability = 0.308 expressed as a fraction.
