Question

when a single card is drawn from a 52 card deck, find the odds in favor of getting a black 3 or a red 9

Answer 1

I'd say 4/52 now simplify and get 1/13

Answer 2

1/52 + 1/52

Answer 3

What cwrw238? There are 2 black 3's and 2 red 9's.

Answer 4

there are two black 3's and two red 9's, so any one of those 4 cards will work.

4 good choices out of 52 possible choices = 4/52 = 1/13
