Out of 52 cards, 13 are hearts and 4 are queens, but one is both.
So the probability is ( 13 + 4 - 1 ) / 52
16 / 52 can be reduced to 4 / 13
So the probability is 4 / 13 or approx 30.8%

The odds of picking a heart, in a 52-card deck with no jokers, is 13/52 or 1/4 exactly. The odds of picking a queen are 4/52, or 1/13 exactly.
These two sets intersect (they both contain the three of hearts) so adding them together and subtracting one gives the accurate count:
13/52+4/52-1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13
The odds are 4 in 13.

16/52 or 4/13
There are 13 cards that are hearts and 3 more queen cards (the queen of hearts is already taken account for in the 13 heart cards)
Thus, you have a probability of 16/52 or 4/13 of drawing a heart or a queen in a standard deck of 52 cards.

There are 16 cards you can pull, so the odds are 16/52 = 4/13. For this homework problem, go ahead and use a real deck of cards if you have a hard time visualizing this - it'll help you get a feel for these types of problems.
