Find the indicated probability. Round your answer to 6 decimal places when necessary.
One card is selected from a deck of cards. Find the probability of selecting a red card or a jack
There are 26 red cards in a deck of 52 cards (since half of the cards are red) and there are 4 jacks in a deck of 52 cards.
To find the probability of selecting a red card or a jack, we need to find the total number of cards that are red or jacks and divide it by the total number of cards in the deck.
Number of cards that are red or jacks: 26 + 4 = 30
Total number of cards in the deck: 52
Probability = 30 / 52 ≈ 0.576923
Rounded to 6 decimal places, the probability of selecting a red card or a jack is approximately 0.576923.
