Question 1171329: find the probability of drawing either a jack or a red card(diamonds or hearts) from a standard deck of cards

The set of successful cards consists of the 26 red cards plus the two black
jacks.  That's 28 successful cards out of 52 possible cards.

Probability = 28 out of 52 = 28/52= 7/13
