Find the probability of choosing each type of card combination at random from a standard deck of 52 cards if you replace the first card.
at least one of the two cards is a red face card
-----
P(red card) = 1/2
P(not red) = 1/2
-----
P(at least one of two is red) = 1 - p(neither is red)
---
= 1-(1/2)^2
-------------
= 1 - 1/4
---
= 3/4
