Answer:
7/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Half the deck is red so there are 26 reds.
There are 4 kings but we already counted two of these in the 26.
So there are 26+2 red or king cards total.
The probability of selecting a king or red is 28/52.
This can be reduced by dividing top and bottom by 4: 7/13.
Answer:
7/13
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 cards in total and 26 red ones. There are 4 kings but two of them are red, so 2 are black. 26 + 2 = 28. 28/52 = 14/26 = 7/13. 7/13 probability
Is it correct?
