Question 177398
 Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. 
What is the probability of 
1) P(2 spades)  = 13C2/52C2 = 78/1326 = 0.0588235
---------------------------------------------------------- 

2) P(2 spades or 2 red cards) 0.0588.. + 26C2/52C2 = 0.3039...
----------------------------------------------------------

3) P(2 red cards or 2 jacks) = [26C2 + 4C2]/52C2
-----------------------------------------------------------

4) P2 spades or 2 face cards) = [13C2 + 16C2]/52C2
-------------------------------------------------------------
