Best Answer

In a standard deck of 52 cards.

Probability of drawing a spade: 4 suits, only 1 is spade.

Each suit contains A-10 (10 cards) + K + Q + J (3 cards)

13 cards in each suit.

There are 13 cards in the spades suit.

You have a 13/52 chance of drawing a spade on your first draw.

Probability of drawing a 5: there are only 4 5's in the deck.

3/52 chance of drawing a 5. (one 5card per suit that is not spades)

13/52 + 3/52 = 16/52 = .3076 or 30.8% chance of drawing a 5 or a spade on your first pull.
