Question 1079637: A standard deck of cards has four suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs) each with 13 cards in it (1-10, jack, queen, and king). Face cards are all the jacks, queens, and kings. The red cards are any cards in the hearts or diamonds suits, while black cards are any cards in the spades or clubs suits.
When drawing a card randomly from a deck, what is the probability that it will be either a black card or a face card? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(black)=26/52
P(face)=12/52, but half the face cards are black, so there is double counting which has to be subtracted
-P(both)=6/52
=32/52 or 8/13.
