Probability of Winning a Card Game

Very Hard Data Analysis And Probability Basic Probability

A game involves drawing a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. In this game, if you draw a card that is a heart, you win. If you draw a card that is a king, you also win, but only 1 king can win at a time. What is the probability of winning the game if you randomly draw one card from the deck?

Consider that there are 13 hearts in the deck, and there are 4 kings in total, of which 1 king is a heart. This means that winning by drawing a heart overlaps with winning by drawing a king. You will need to calculate the probability correctly by accounting for this overlap.
