In fraction from
sorry - two of the red cards are jacks, so
P(red or jack) = 28/52
You are correct, I apologize for the mistake. Two of the red cards are jacks.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a red card or a jack is 28/52.
In a standard deck of cards, there are 26 red cards (13 hearts and 13 diamonds) and 4 jacks (one jack in each suit).
The total number of red cards or jacks is 26 + 4 = 30.
Since a deck of cards contains 52 cards in total, the probability of selecting a red card or a jack is 30/52.
Therefore, the probability in fraction form is 30/52.
