Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find each Probability
P(Both Kings or Both Black) = P(both Kings) + P(both Black)-P(both Kings AND
Both Black)
= 4C2/52C2 + 26C2/52C2 - 1/52C2 = [6 + 325 -1]/1326
-----------------------------
P(Both Face Cards or Both Red) = P(both Face)+P(both Red)-P(both Face AND Red)
Comment: assuming Face means King,Queen,Jack there are 12
-------
= 12C2/52C2 + 26C2/52C2 - 6C2/52C2
= [66 + 325 - 15]/1326
