9. A card is randomly drawn from a shuffled deck of playing cards (52 cards). Event $A$ is ``drawing the King of Hearts'', and event $B$ is ``drawing a Spade''. Then the probability $P ( A \cup B ) = $ $\_\_\_\_$ $\frac { 7 } { 26 }$ (express the result as a fraction in lowest terms).
Analysis: This examines the probability formula for mutually exclusive events. $P ( A \cup B ) = \frac { 1 } { 52 } + \frac { 13 } { 52 } = \frac { 7 } { 26 }$\\
