P(red or a face card) = ?

Number of cards in a standard deck = 52
Number of face or red cards= number of face cards + number of red cards - number of both face red cards......1

Face cards are Jack, Queen, King and Ace of the 4 suits = 3*4 = 12 cards. Out of the half (6) are red, other 6 black
There are half red and half black cards in standard deck. So, 26 red cards are present in std deck

Putting all of this in (1):

Number of face or red cards = 26+12-6 = 32

P(red or a face card) = Number of face or red cards/total cards in standard deck = 32/52 = .6154 or .62

So, answer is 62%

Answer: D.) 62%
