You can put this solution on YOUR website!

a)
number of cards which is eight or seven = 4*2 = 8
probability of randomly selecting an eight or a seven = 8/52
b)
number of cards which is eight or seven or two = 4*3 = 12
probability of randomly selecting an eight,seven or two= 12/52

c) number of cards which is seven or diamond = 13+ 3*1 = 16
probability of randomly selecting a seven or diamond = 16/52
