There are 4 queens in a deck and 13 clubs. However, one of the queens is also a club (the Queen of Clubs), so we must avoid double-counting it. Thus, the total favorable outcomes are 4 (for the queens) + 12 (for the non-queen clubs) = 16. The probability is therefore $ \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13} $.
