Question 1180411: One card is selected at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Use a formula to find the probability of the union of the two events.
The card is a face card or a red card. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A red face card includes KQJ hearts and KQJ diamonds, or 6 cards.
prob. face card is 12/52 and probability of red card is 1/2, or 26/52, prob. of both is 6/52 (the union).
(the overall probability of either is sum of first two minus union or 32/52). The probability of both is 6/52 as stated or 3/26.
