Thank you! Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 12 face cards; 1/2 of them are black; 4 of the 12 cards are kings, 2 red and 2 black.
P= 8/52 = 2/13 (6 black face cards and 2 red kings = 8)
Odds against= ratio of falures to successes = 44 to 8 = 11 to 2
