The question asks for the probability of getting either a heart or a queen when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards.

To solve this:

1. **Number of hearts in a deck**: There are 13 hearts in a deck, as each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) has 13 cards.
   
2. **Number of queens in a deck**: There are 4 queens in a deck (one queen for each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades).
   
3. **Overlap (Queen of hearts)**: The Queen of Hearts is counted both as a heart and as a queen, so we must subtract it from the total to avoid double-counting.

### Probability Calculation:

- Probability of drawing a heart: \( \frac{13}{52} \)
- Probability of drawing a queen: \( \frac{4}{52} \)
- Probability of drawing both (Queen of Hearts): \( \frac{1}{52} \)

Using the formula for the union of two events \( P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \), we get:

\[
P(\text{Heart or Queen}) = \frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{16}{52}
\]

Simplifying \( \frac{16}{52} \):

\[
P(\text{Heart or Queen}) = \frac{4}{13}
\]

Thus, the probability of drawing either a heart or a queen is \( \frac{4}{13} \).
