A single card is drawn from a standard deck. Find the probability Drawing a red card or a face card of drawing a red card or a face card (enter your probability as a fraction.)

Answer 1

Probability = number of events/total possible outcomes

number of events = number of red cards + number of black face cards (Since red face cards have already been counted)

= 13 hearts + 13 diamonds + 3 clover face cards + 3 spade face cards = 32

total possible outcomes = 52 cards

32/52 = 8/13 reduced to lowest terms
