Question

Please help. You are dealt one card from a standard 52-card deck. You are dealt one card, Find the probability of being dealt a red card or 10. (Answer in simplest fraction form).

Answer 1

15/26

Explanation:

1/2x1/13

Red cards are half of the deck, so 1/2. There are 4 tens in a deck, so 4/52 or 1/13.

To add you would find a common denominator in 1/2 and 1/13. You would end up with 13/26 and 2/26.

13/26+2/26=15/26.
