<PRE><B>Question 440900</B>
If 2 cards are chosen from a 52 card deck, what is the probability both are black or both are diamonds?
------------------
P(B or D) = P(B)+P(D) - P(B and D)
= 26C2/52C2 + 13C2/52C2 - 0C2/52C2
----
= [26C2+13C2-0]/52C2
---
= 403/1326
----------
= 0.3039

-------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
