a card is randomly selected from a standard deck. find the probability that the card is red or a queen

P(Red OR Queen) = P(Red) + P(Queen) - P(Red AND Queen)

P(Red) = , there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards

P(Queen) = , there are four queens out of 52 cards

P(Red AND Queen) = , there are two red queens, the 
queen of hearts and the queen of diamonds, out of 52 cards.

P(Red OR Queen) = P(Red) + P(Queen) - P(Red AND Queen)

P(Red OR Queen) = 

P(Red OR Queen) = 

P(Red OR Queen) =
